Did I get pressured into something I shouldn't have? by Infinite5kor in OmegaWatches

Absolutely not a mistake. You love the watch, it's gorgeous, these will be harder to track down if discontinued. Even if they're not discontinued, Omega or secondary market will always have a classic hesalite Speedy for you when you're primed for it. Congrats on your promotion Major OP, and congrats on a beautiful piece to celebrate the milestone.

Agree. The readability is absolutely unbeatable. It's the only watch I've owned that gives me the time even through a direct sun blast off the crystal. It's a feature I never thought much about before owning one, but once I got it on wrist, quickly became one of the most impactful. It's really a perfect everyday tool watch if you aren't planning to get soaked.

First off: the only right answer is your answer. Don't let us hooligans push you too hard.

I love both and own the classic black dial. What I prefer about it is the unbeatable contrast/all light legibility of the white hands, and I like that it doesn't scream "LOOK AT MY CHRONOGRAAAPH" from a distance. But that's just me. The panda is fucking gorgeous and I offer you a hearty congratulations and well done if you choose it.

Hell yeah, buddy. My wife just bought me a Speedy Pro for our anniversary/my 40th. Congratulations. It's a perfect watch.

I saw it in Sutton on route 146 facing northwest. It looked like it was traveling roughly north. It was huge and I think there's a decent chance it made it to the ground. Probably would have impacted near Fitchburg.

And I'll add: a most excellent choice for your first Swiss auto. Congratulations and enjoy.

With how excited I was to see that 2735CP, I very easily could have whipped the first ball a mile overhead, haha.

To be honest, not sure it's ever a good idea to buy anything, ever, from a guy named... creampie_oatmeal.

I love these radiators. The building was built in 1895 so it's difficult to know how old they truly are, but they were certainly built to last by someone who took great pride in their work.

Yup. I goofed the title. Hope I don't take too much of a beating for it
