After all these years my first speedy

Picked up my first speedy yesterday a complete set unworn with stickers speedy racing from 1997. Love the size of the reduced case think I’ll prob source a bracelet if they’re still available.

It's a beauty, for sure. Very cool Omega.

Love the twin-pad strap. There was a twin-pad strap in black alligator that came standard on the Speedmaster Pro about twenty years ago, and only for a couple of years, I think. I was interested in having one of those straps, but Omega didn't offer them any longer, so I kept an eye out for used ones and I have purchased two so far. They're a bit fragile, so I only get them out and use them every now and then, but I think the watch looks really cool on a twin-pad strap.

Here's one of 'em. Seeing yours has me ready to get this strap out and enjoy it for a few days

Thanks buddy you can pick up new twin pad speedy straps in UK from the straptailor I’ve purchased a few different straps from him and they really are excellent quality
