(Well- Jeff did it, too.)
The pre-owned Omega Speedmaster Triple-Date landed at my doorstep this morning - my first non-Heuer high-end chrono.
Of course, I immediately had to try it on - fits nice on the wrist, but the bracelet needed a link removed to be right. After removing one link, it's perfect.
The arabic numbers on the dial are very visible, as are the timekeeping hands. No doubt what time it is, even for old eyes! And I real like the touch of blue in the 24hour indicator dial. for some reason, I'm a sucker for that color. (Siffert Autavia hands - is that next?)
The links below are the first two casual snaps while it's still on the bench. It's hard to get the grey dial to stand out from the black subdials without getting reflections. I'll have to work on that.
