New to the Forum - First Omega...

Can't post pics yet, apparently, but I recently joined the Omega club while on vacation in Florida. After having owned a couple nice timepieces in the past (and selling when kids came around), I'm back and looking to begin building a collection. There are a handful of items on my list as a place to begin, and I was excited to be able to grab one of them without a wait!

Starting the collection with a 2021 Speedmaster Professional. Love the new bracelet, and this seems like a perfect way to get back into the hobby. Thanks for the info I've learned so far!

It's not the Omega you want, but it's the Omega I can provide!

Looks like I'm unlocked and can post pics! Here it is on a strap I'm trying out.
