Any Omega guys have any experience with this model?

I've always been on the fence about Speedmasters until today, I tried this on and fell in love!! The weight, stainless bezel, etc. The smaller LE would be nice but I can't wean a 38.5. This watch was perfect! Any pics or experiences with any 57s?

I just got my new SpeedMaster Professional yesterday so I know the feeling. Though not a 57, the size, weight and feel really overshadow my SpeedMaster Reduced which is only 39mm. Heading to the Omega Boutique on Wed. Hopefully, can try on that same beauty you are wearing plus others. Don't hesitate if your thinking of pulling the trigger. Good luck!

I've had mine for two years.

Great watch. No issues at all.

From my experience - buy what speaks to you. If you fell in love - that's all that matters.

For example as much as a forum darling as AP is - the brand just doesn't speak to me...

It’s a fantastic watch. I’ve loved it ever since it came out, and I still try it one very time I go to an OB. Unfortunately it wears a little large on my little 6.5” wrist, so I had to settle for the 38.5mm limited edition.

Go get it!

Haha, of course not, but honestly I’d prefer the ‘57 that you’re looking at. Just wish my wrist was bigger.
