loving the Speedmaster!... who knew?

Ive had a lot of watches... and i mean a lot so the excitement wears off pretty quick and im on the hunt for the next one for the collection......
I bought a brand new Speedmaster last week (big box set,perspex lens) and i honestly cant stop looking at it.
Look at my sig and you will see ive got nice bling watches(as far as bling goes) but this thing is comfortable, light, and just all round spot on.... i never thought id go to my watches in the morning and pick anything over one of my subs but right now im reaching for this and loving it.
Changed to a nato last night and today

just had to share lol!

I was never a huge fan of the Speedmaster until I put one on my wrist. I wear it quite a bit now.

I'm really glad you're happy with the decision to pick this watch up. From your other thread, I know you received one heck of a deal, which makes the enjoyment that much better! Changing between NATO and bracelet almost makes it seem like you got two watches too. Congratulations!

It's a great watch. Unmatched in terms of value in my humble opinion

It's a good sign really....but let me warn you now....since it has grown on you just these couple days....your love for it will only get deeper with time. It's not a piece for everyone but us that are emphatic about it won't ever get off the train IMO. Enjoy in good health!
