Omega

Dream Speedy..

 


Nicolas,

Nice to see you joining the ranks of Speedy fans at last. Or maybe I should say owners - after all you've been a fan for a while I think but just not taken the plunge!

My dream would be the CK 2915 pictured on page 100 of Omega Sportswatches by John Goldberger - steel bezel, arrow hand, gorgeous lollipop seconds! I'd prefer it on a strap like the CK2998 on page 114 though!

So, based on that, if I had the opportunity I'd go for the oldest, most original (I hate replacement hands/bezels/crowns etc) Speedy I could afford and, if thats a CK2915 then you're blessed.

Every so often I take tha back off my modest 105.012 and gaze at the movement. It's a classic and a beauty to behold, and I love the richness of the various finishes - polished screws, copper, brass etc.

Enjoy your dilemma, then enjoy your choice.

With very best wishes.

Vernon.

As part of a trade with a Dealer, I had to choose 3 watches... I already made my choice for 2 of them. I now have to make my mind on a third one, which could be a ...Speedmaster. For the moment, I own a SM 300 14755, and another SM 300 from 1964, with the... 

Some points to make

Straight lug speedies - 2915, 2998, 105.002 and 105.003; ref. 105.012 and 145.012 which had the cal. 321 and everything following that with the cal. 861 and later versions were twisted lug speedies. Ref. 2915-3 was identical to ref. 2998-1 and some 2998-2... 

You are worse....

Than me my friend..... changing you mind..... I would go the 007 way.... Cheers

Nico, the 2915 is the ultimate to go for, but very pricey

you could go for a 105.003 with straight lugs like the thin bezel sm300 and get a 64 model. i have to disagree with MSN i'm afraid as the 105.012 is the first assymetric cased model with twisted lugs like the big bezel sm300 model. all of these early mode... 

Thanks a lot, Guys.

I still remember this afternoon....It was the first time in my life I wanted to go out a Watch shop first! Best,

The reason being....

he was delayed by two purists... one was playing with his watches and the other one was hiding/replacing one..... Cheers

CK 2915

or if money is a matter CK2998. But I would go for quality and providence on the watch. I hate bad/knocked watches. BR Hans P.S. Congratulations on your birthday... Or... ;-)

2998 is my answer

Hi Nic, This speedy is still one of my favourites, despite its age (this watch is as 'young' as me!!), I think it still looks cool on me, since I still look cool myself whahahahaha! After reading your post, I had to take some pix of it again on Xmas day! ...  

Mech, i'm glad to see...

Mech, i'm glad to see you have the custom display back on it. the 321 deserves to be seen far more than the 861 does. my seamaster 321 is adjusted to 2 positions, something i've never seen on a speedy, but no display back for it sadly. i got your PM, but ...
