Congrats on the Speedy Pro, Al!
Now that you've joined the ranks those fortunate to own & operate an Omega SpeedMaster, including those who gave it legendary status (members of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs), you'll need to go through a bit of "training" to become accustomed to launching your Moon Watch and keeping "all systems go fo launch".
I have found that maintaining the SpeedMaster's engine thrust (keeping the watch ticking) is by firing her up each morning (give her a wind daily). My watch taked precisely 8 winds each morning, until I fell she's fully wound. Can the winding be a bit rough on the finger? Yes, indeed. But this tends to get easier as your finger becomes accustomed to winding daily. Heck, you may even build a little callus on your index finger where you wind, and then you won't have a sore finger any longer!
So, have a great time with your SpeedMaster!
Enjoy!
David
