WELL AS NO ONE HAS POSTED A WRIST SHOT OR ANY LIVE PICS OF IT, AND THE FACT THAT SOMEONE ASKED FOR IT.......HERE YOU GO.

SORRY FOR THE QUALITY OF THE SHOTS, IT'S MY FIRST TIME TRYING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM.

THE DIAL......

OTHER SHOTS OF THE BACK, WRIST SHOT, AND A FAILED ATTEMPT AT A LUME SHOT.

Hello Venom!
Your pictures are great!
And dial is really amazing!
It is so interesting to find the classic Speedy in so many variants, always classic, always so attractive.
Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy it in good health!!
Best cordial regards, Abel.

JBat · 23 December 2010, 02:52 AM

Great looking watch! I like the caseback too.

dalip · 23 December 2010, 02:57 AM

Great pics. Love the watch.

Watchdog · 23 December 2010, 04:53 AM

Fantastic!

BigMac53 · 23 December 2010, 05:11 AM

WoW! very interesting dial! When I saw the title of the thread I didn't knw what to expect!

asadtiger · 23 December 2010, 04:38 PM

absolutely gorgeous watch

..I LOVE it over everything else, or may be comparable to Alaska Project, but whatever, it is only essentially comparable to itself (another speedy)

gorgeous version of a classic.

AJC · 23 December 2010, 11:31 PM

Hey Mate,

Nice watch and nothing to shabby about the lume shot.

Cheers

Alcan · 24 December 2010, 12:18 AM

How cool is that!

A watch qualified for space, with a piece of space on the dial!!

thanks for the kind words. and also thanks for
letting me post some in ur thread. still love that brown dial. there's really only 2 more watches on my grail list, but that brown dial might make me have to rethink it.
***just in case, the two are a patek philippe 5146j slate grey and a daydate/daydate 2 yellow gold/platinum.

I totally agree with you. a speedy pro is in it's own class, especially with all the variations. you just can't go wrong with any of them.

TattooedGQ · 24 December 2010, 03:10 AM

Holy Cow...what's the reference?? Are they readily available?

venom43 · 24 December 2010, 09:41 AM

they're a limited edition run of 1975 pieces. I was actually going in to get the brown dial speedy and couldn't pass up the price they had on it. plus i've always wanted a meteorite dial, just never thought I would own one for a good price.

Dr. Jones · 24 December 2010, 09:49 AM

Pure class, I love the watch, and the dial.

What an appropriate material for a Speedy.

Must have cost you a bundle?

ocwatching · 24 December 2010, 02:37 PM

nice piece...great shots...

sea-dweller · 25 December 2010, 10:42 AM

venom43 · 26 December 2010, 01:13 AM

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!

Here's an added wrist pic during the day.

av8ors · 26 December 2010, 01:43 AM

Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing!

venom43 · 29 December 2010, 10:14 AM

Everyone thanks for the kind words. Also, thanks for taking it easy on my pics.

Nicko · 29 December 2010, 10:36 AM

Simply curious, how much does the meteorite dial add to the price of the watch?

av8ors · 29 December 2010, 02:20 PM

That looks like a Apollo-Soyuz 35th anniversary watch. Retail on that was 8400 USD.

venom43 · 30 December 2010, 06:21 PM

wow.

I paid around 3,000.00 less. I got it for 5,600+. I really didn't know that he gave me that much of a discount. And yes this is the 35th anniversary Apollo/Soyuz speedy.
I had gone in to get the brown dial speedy and saw the meteorite dial and asked how much it was. I thought hell, it cost around the same as the PO LM, that must be the omega price of their limited editons. Now I feel even better about the purchase.
-=thanks=-

Omega21 · 1 January 2011, 06:02 AM

WOW! Gorgeous.
Not much more I can say, just wow!

egzbuen · 1 January 2011, 03:31 PM

DCgator · 1 January 2011, 03:40 PM

Simply put - Has the wow factor all over it.

Lol-x · 1 January 2011, 03:49 PM

That dial is soooo cool not just for the way it looks, but for what it is (meteorite).

Mega congrats!!!!

venom43 · 2 January 2011, 01:16 AM

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

BealeAss · 2 January 2011, 06:31 AM
