: I've toyed with getting this exact Apollo 11 model for a while,
: after managing to aviod owning a Speedmaster for my dozen
: collecting years.

: I think this colour dial combo is the nicest...the all black
: Speedmasters always seemed too plain to my eye.

: Timely too, as Monday will mark a special event, 40 yrs ago
: according to the dial.

: After avioding one for so long I'm quite surprised by how much I
: like the look and feel of this, my first Speedmaster. And, it
: probably has what I think is the best ever looking dial
: colour/tachy/subdial colour combination. I've a Tudor chrono
: with the same silver/black dial- there's just something about
: the config. and size of this Omega that I like. I've had the
: Sifferts and all the Autavias - the GMT's et al- the
: Silverstones and the Dato 12's, and one of each Monaco,
: Daytona's, Breitlings, etc etc. I just like this Speedy.
: Although, it can't top the trans-Monaco.

: What do they say about collecting- you start out simple, then
: graduate to one of everything interesting/expensive/collectable,
: and then migrate back to more simple, pure pieces ? The latter
: seems to be me at the moment.

: Anyone care to submit their "best looking" chono?

: Cheers

: Stew.
: PS- thanks for your email the other day Jeff!

My son just bought a vintage Omega Speedmaster while on his honeymoon in Greece. He found it in a little antique shop. He had a jeweller check it out before he bought it since it was a pretty good deal. I'm very jealous. They are beautiful watches that's for sure. The classic chrono.
