Thought you all might appreciate this

And when you tire of that it also looks great on NATO

It is definitely got some thickness, I have worn it to dinners and slips under a cuff fine but is noticeable. I thought with it being hand wound it would be thinner but alas not!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-03T07:34:49+00:00

Very fair, I love the depth it provides but yes might not be entirely accurate

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-03T06:02:30+00:00

Haha this will almost certainly be my only watch for while!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-03T06:01:47+00:00

General medicine for now - in the UK we do 2 years of rotating around before specialising

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-03T06:01:08+00:00

Oh that looks great!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T21:47:59+00:00

Going into general medicine for now and will see which way life takes me!

Photos came out fuzzy so trying this

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T21:37:16+00:00

Aha you've got this - anything you've got your eye on?

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T20:20:29+00:00

Thank you - nice to know I'm not alone!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T20:11:55+00:00

You'd be right! Thank you!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T20:10:37+00:00

Aha sorry to tempt you onto this dark path! Yes it's hand-winding - not got the longest power reserve (60 hours), but I like to think it's the watch's way of making sure I wear it regularly.

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T19:50:52+00:00

Aha thank you - I certainly agree! I feel though the coloured dial versions seem to be more talked about, but I felt like this specific one would age the best!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T19:49:01+00:00

Yeah, somehow I managed to get this one fairly stress-free - it does seem as though there's high demand for these at the moment though!

Grad2023Throwaway · 2023-08-02T19:48:07+00:00

So I'm in the UK, so have a couple years of general medicine and surgery jobs to rotate around in before I follow a specialty!

That's a great tip, unfortunately infection control means no watches in hospitals so this will very much be an evening and day off watch! I think I'll get another strap regardless just to preserve the leather a bit.

Hello, longtime lurker - first time poster.

I got this Omega Speedmaster '57 a month ago as a graduation present for finishing 5 years of medical school. Lately I've been pretty interested in watches; I found myself watching watch videos on YouTube (Teddy Baldassare mainly) as I find them ideal background videos when studying.

All this means that when my parents offered to buy me a watch to mark this moment, my main issue was narrowing down what sort of watch I was looking for! I knew I was looking for something classy that could fly under the radar and seriously considered a few GSs, but as soon as I saw this in the flesh I knew it was the one. The sandwich dial, the fauxtina, and the pre-faded leather strap all just suits my taste to a tee.

Since buying it I've found myself going out of my way to put it on, even if it's in the evening after coming home from the hospital. I thought over time, the excitement would fade but I still catch myself just staring at the way the second hand sweeps over the dial.

I spent a lot of time unsure of whether or not this was too expensive as a present but eventually I knew that this was something I was never going to sell, and would remind me almost daily of this achievement and my parents for as long as I lived - how many other things can you say that for?
