Explorer and Speedmaster

Both time-less and best in class. Love these two beauts together

Have a great weekend ahead to all here

Beautiful photo, two iconic watches. I've recently started coming around to the idea that I need a Speedy in my collection to pair with my Explorer.

Fantastic combo. I'm currently waiting on an Explorer that I am going to gift myself for my 40th birthday this summer. Hopefully it will go as well with my 145.022 as it does with your Speedy Tuesday!

I too recently scratched the Speedy itch, and am glad that I did.

Every watch collection should contain a Speedmaster, just such a cool watch.

Sub & Speedy is my Classic pairing , 3rd time I’ve had a Speedmaster but I know this one is a keeper.

Two of the best....In any class. Those 2 watches can stand along side any watch company and hold their head high. In an era of manufactured rarity , over hyped instagram watches, watches created by overhyped jewelry designers, and watches only famous because of their association with celebrity, these stand out among the best.

Awesome watches!

Can you please let me know how you fitted a bracelet to the Speedy Tuesday?

Do you have the bracelet code?

Hi bud, sorry to come back so late. It is the generic racing bracelet that comes on the speedmaster but I added the Seamaster adjustable clasp which makes a day-and-night difference

There is a Seamaster adjustable clasp? Wow, I've not looked at any Omegas in so long I was oblivious to the fact.

Great pair, by the way, Fred.

Thanks buddy Larr!

Yeah, the Omega boutique technician told me and hooked it up under $200. So worth it!
