Speedmaster Pro on order..!!
After many questions and help from Graham I have ordered a saphire front/back Speedy Pro just now..!! It's in stock with Omega UK so should be here in 7-10 days.
After a particularly bad year so far I was in desperate need of cheering up so this will do for now...just counting down the days now...
Pics to follow when she arrives,
Andy.

Excellenté! Bracelet or strap, Nick? Most . . .
