I think speedies cost relatively more for servicing, and that's holding me back in getting preowned with w/o proper servicing history. Likewise for Swiss auto chronos...
2.6k for a '99 watch seems a little steep actually
'99 means a 1861 right? I'm out of touch with brand new Speedy Pro pricing - don't they go for about S$4k?

I was quite into speedy at one point in time and wanted to get one really badly.
To me, it is quite an icon of omega.
I will bookmark this for future reference if my interest re-ignite.
thanks guys for the very gd write up.

You might wanna consider the speedy sandwich too,, it's the one with display caseback, finished movement to boast and they change the hammer's material from plastic to steel.. Strap the sandwich on a black croco and you've got yourself a timeless dress watch
That is if sports model is good in your book as a dress watch

The 40th anniv Apollo landing edition looks nice on their advertisements (aren't they all?) Personally am disappointed (thought this was gonna be my 1st speedy) when I got around to the it in steel.. Strongly advise bros interested in this model to go to their boutiques to check it out first..
Settled with the 50th speedy anniv instead

IMO, if you do intend to hoot a Omega Speedy, best is to go for the very begin model with 321 movt. Best of the best is to get one with raised Omega logo on the dial.
I had been searching for a long time for one still bo luck, until early this year. Had a opportunity to get one in a trade but movt is 861. So still better than nothing... heheh...
You'll ask why this one? Simply because it is a post-moon watch. The caseback tell it all.....

Ah.... so you were the buyer of this long R piece
nice!
You know what the deal about post-moon and pre-moon right. The watches that first went to the moon were pre-moon.

haha finally u post the pics...been waiting for it(though u posted before last time) but this is a rare short production run(transitional piece).
A 861 in it is still ok for me.... thats very common replacement for such pieces
my goal: a speedy 125
my dream nia: a snoopy..
