Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Speedy Tuesday' tradition often refers to the Speedmaster Professional, a model revered for its historical accuracy and connection to space exploration. Some collectors prioritize this historical verity in their acquisitions.
A comprehensive list of Speedmaster models owned by a single collector demonstrates the vast array of references available, from anniversary editions to specific movement variations like the 1861, 861, and 3861 calibers, and even the highly sought-after Canopus Gold and First Omega In Space editions.
The discussion playfully questions the strict adherence to 'Professional' status, suggesting that any Speedmaster, even a non-Pro, is a worthy contribution to the 'Speedy Tuesday' tradition.
Several members contributed wristshots of their diverse Speedmaster models, including various Professional references and other Speedmaster variants, illustrating the visual breadth of the collection.

. . . but not a Pro. 😉 The Rabbi said it best: Or, in other words, historical verity matters when it comes to my collection. If I actually needed a chronograph for timing events Omega's current offerings would be on the list, but so would Zenith El Primeros, among others. Best, Art
