Thanks Cazalea and Nico. I didn't realize that the hands are easily damaged during service. i thought that "it's just removing with tweezer, and done" :)

They don't charge me anything. i guess it is all covered in the factory service cost, even though the hands are gold.

After 4 months of full service and mainspring replacement. It's so refreshing and i can't say enough how happy I am to put her on my wrist...like a long lost love Curiously, they also replaced the chronograph second hand, main hour hand, and one of the su...

I bought the titanium bracelet from Omega boutique. It is from Skywalker X-33 bracelet, but somehow it fits perfectly on speedy Pro (same 20 mm lug width). It is light , smooth as silk , and very comfortable. Plus, it makes the watch looks and feels like ...

This is "the other" I'd love to get my hands on someday. In a virtual sea of Speedmasters your choice stands out. As you can see, my "Sapphire Sandwich" goes well with unaccompanied Bach. But the Apollo 11 45th Anni. is one for the Kreisler Sonata! My con...

I had a regular Speedy few years ago, it was one of my favourite watch. Incredibly versatile and cool iconic watch. Pity i had to sold it to fund another watch. Your picture is stunning.
