I joined the Speedy club
Hey All,
Recently came across an Speedy Broad Arrow Re issue 1957 on a local vintage watch dealer, tried it in the store and instantly fall in love with it (did not bought it at the store as they were asking too much). Don't really understand why a SpeedMaster is not in my collection in my early days of becoming a WIS is beyond me..:-s Picked this one up from a trusted dealer here in TRF, thanks Mr.W! Now I truly understand the allure of the SpeedMaster; classic design, rich history, iconic watch! It is hard to resist this beautiful timepiece from Omega! Enough talk..here are some pics, not great ones as I took them in the office with the Iphone and some photoshop tweaks.      And yes..I have realized this Speedy should be 3594.50..not what it is on the electronic bean counter..silly me

Brandon,
Congrats on the 3594.50! As you know, I love the look so much I incorporated the dial, hands, and bezel into my custom Speedy Pro. And the lume is outstanding:   Fr. John† |

Congrats Ultraman!
I just joined the club this week as well with a Speedy Pro. The Speedmaster is an awesome watch with an iconic history. I haven't taken mine off since I got it
