Speedy Pro 3873.50.31
I have been interested in buying a speedy pro for a long time but never really researched which watch would best suit me. I'm pretty sure I will go with the sapphire sandwich with the croc band and may go out today to do some pricing. Generally speaking, what percentage off list should I be looking for or around what price should I have in mind so I don't get scammed by an AD. I am pretty unfamiliar with purchasing an Omega so any advice would be appreciated!

By the way Joe, Fr John just helped me the other day. I ordered it Monday and I just recieved my saphire sandwich (Omega Speed Master Pro 3573.50.00) today. I actually purchased mine with the bracelet and got the black leather strap and deployment buckle at the same time.
Totaly satisfied, Great Watch.

I believe the latter is better.
Even better if you buy with ss bracelet and order the strap and deployant clasp at the same time.

Buy with the bracelet and then purchase the leather strap is generally consider the best way to go. Have not priced the other method, however everything I have heard and read states to get the watch with the bracelet and then buy the leather strap.

Yes, always buy with the bracelet and add the strap later.
If you buy from my dealer, the deal will be much better. Fr. John† |

I ask because I read that Omega uses two sizes 16mm and 18mm. Regards Robert |
