Just got my first Omega today. It's the Speedy Pro. 3570. This is my first high end time piece so it's quite a lot to take in. Not being from a wealthy background, it's quite a feeling of accomplishment to know I can afford something this nice. Shots to follow but just let me soak it in.

Thank you to the users in a previous thread that steered me toward the 3570 vs the 50th "patch".

Special thanks to Fr. John for getting me in touch with his AD. Easiest transaction possible and fabulous service. Thanks!!

speedy pro is an awesome watch. It will not disappoint.
I love mine, and it goes well with everything!

Huge congrats and look forward to the pix! :-)

Congrat's friend.....
May you wear it in happiness & in health always.

dmc · 25 December 2009, 04:47 AM

You must post some pics.

Give us a report on this thread in a few days on how its working, keeping time, etc....

I hope you enjoy it.

Merry Christmas

Congratulations and welcome to the Speedmaster Professional Club! Yep, dealing with our FAD is a great experience, I know! My Speedy Pro says "Hi!" to yours. Cheers, Bill P.

towernick · 25 December 2009, 06:14 AM

Got one on my wrist as I type this, good choice.

axl169 · 25 December 2009, 06:33 AM

Thanks all, pics will follow soon. Probably a silly question, but is there a method used to check if my Omega is keeping accurate time? Or is it taking note of the second hand at a particular time and comparing it to an Internet clock or something? Thanks for welcoming me into the club!

bradg · 26 December 2009, 01:17 AM

Congrats on the Speedy...Enjoy it

sushisummo · 26 December 2009, 03:55 AM

brkanand · 26 December 2009, 03:58 AM

Hearty congrats..

flyinbrian · 26 December 2009, 04:13 AM

Speedmaster 3510.50 was my first watch and it felt great also when i was finally able to afford such a thing.

iwantagmt · 26 December 2009, 05:02 AM

Congratulations and great choice! I went through a similar experience 6 months ago with my Seamaster Planet Ocean!

Great looking watch and congrats. As for keeping track of time, I always check my watches against the cell phone time.

Enjoy -

John

kcmo · 26 December 2009, 07:57 AM

Congrats! Enjoy it.

karmatp · 26 December 2009, 11:41 AM

Congrats, I found one under my tree today and I am completely in love with it. Sounds like there won't be a Rolex on my wrist for some time, hard to beat the Speedy Pro.

lavaman · 26 December 2009, 12:36 PM

Congrats! I am from similar background, and waited until I had finished law school (as a single parent) before I felt I had "earned" my Connie.

Wear in good health!

R1@160@alltimes · 26 December 2009, 12:43 PM

A true classic. Congrats!!

asadtiger · 29 December 2009, 05:10 AM

Tombstone · 29 December 2009, 08:34 AM

I am pleased with Omega products. Omega is a solid brand. I see myself buying more Omega products if Rolex continues to make their watches too expensive for what you get.
Congratulations on a very fine Swiss watch.

cornerstore · 29 December 2009, 12:54 PM

Very Nice.

WJGESQ · 1 January 2010, 11:01 PM

I think its a better watch, with or without factoring in price.

phantom357 · 2 January 2010, 01:27 AM

Congrats on your purchase

Please post pics so that we may authenticate

axl169 · 11 January 2010, 12:08 PM

Better late than never, love the time piece and have no regrets getting it!

audifred · 11 January 2010, 12:54 PM

Congrats!

Great shot, Axl, and congrats on a real classic.

vaq129e4 · 12 January 2010, 03:22 PM

I too am from humble beginings, but my father always told me a "A man should always have a few nice suits, good shoes, and a good watch to present oneself well" and I feel he was right. Nothing is worse that seeing a guy wearing a $1200.00 suit, $200.00 tie, a bleached smile, and a Casio G-Shock on his wrist. A sure sign of having more money than class.
