My First Omega

I had been looking around to buy something new for a while. I found it on an ebay auction and got it at a great price. It is in new condition; Model: 3570.50.

Beautiful watch. I have a "Patch". Very accurate, too. I always wanted the original one. Maybe it is good time now. Do you mind I asking that how much did you pair for it?

Nice watch. My nephew is a big Omega man, I've tried to convert him to Rolex to no avail. I am tempted to get a 007 Omega. Cheesey I know, but it is a nice watch and may have investment value in the future. Enjoy.

Way to go, Mark! You will enjoy wearing your new Speedy Pro! Now you will want to get one of the last of the Seamaster Professionals. Cheers, Bill P.

Great watch...congrats. I think Omega will always be my first love seeing as the SMP Chrono I saw as a teenager really got me excited about watches. I have always felt my collection is not complete until the day I add a Speedmaster Pro Chrono. Congrats again on this acquisition...one of the few timeless beauties out there today! Cheers.

Its a beauty. I went the same way as you, same watch, good price, great seller. Still wear my Seamaster most of the time tough, I´m used to the extra weight.
Unjoy it!
