New to the speedmaster family

I'm a proud owner of a new-to-me Speedmaster:)!!!
I have the bracelet it came with (1479, not original) but liked the look of the Hodinkee strap
38,xxxxxxx serial number, some light patina
It has quickly become one of my favorites!

Thanks guys. A week on the wrist and I'm loving it!! I can't stop staring at it:).

It's amazing the attention this watch gets. I have had several people literally walk across the room to ask me about my Speedmaster. My stainless steel Daytona on the other hand, rarely gets a second look. Haven't quite figured it out yet.
