Omega Incoming--Do Over...

I was going to play guess the incoming but wasn't into that this time.

Have you ever bought a watch and once you had it, thought, oh shit...
just not into it....don't like it..... A couple weeks ago I bought a Speedmaster
Date, this one:

Image

Got it home, sized it and wore it once or twice..put it back in the box
and thought...I think I made a mistake...Like the colors, but really didn't
like the quick date changing feature, the way the date was positioned, and most
importantly, didn't like the dial-- it wasn't easy to read. I began to think
about my options and immediately put it up for sale. I also put a call
into the AD where I bought it and after a couple of conversations, he said he
would give me full value of what I paid toward something else....I felt lucky...

Did some thinking :think: and decided that whatever I bought should have a silver or white
dial and higher end movement....So decided to go with this....a watch I have always wanted
but kind of forgot about...

Speedmaster Broadarrow-1957
42MM case, 14.5MM thick
37 jewel COSC Cal 3313 ( based on the Piguet 1285)
Column wheel chrono
55 hrs power reserve
100M or 330' WR...


Anyways, pretty happy about getting a "do over"....will have some real pics
middle of next week...

Just thought I would tell you guys about it...

:cheers:
Mike

The Broadarrow looks great. The white dial and the blued hands are a stunning combination.
It's non-Moonwatch Speedmaster day here at DWC!
