That watch that almost was not made...
Hi
I remember when this watch was announced... Chuck and myself thought it was a cool item, Chuck ordered one ASAP. It had a arrival date of later that year.... Well there were complications with 7750 modification for the rattrapante function. Took alot longer to bring to market then anyone thought.... Chuck had to wait almost a extra year before delivery and he loved the watch !
Enjoy it , I remember seeing a new one in a AD store about two years ago still for sale... new... it brought a tear to my eye.
Good Hunting

Omega Speedmaster Pro Rattrapante

its not from Omega's greatest period Ian, but the 7750 is bomb proof
you cant go far wrong with a 7750 inside and it does look quite nice. i'm assuming from your list of Omega's that you like chronographs. i'd quite like your opinion on the ownership of the Olympic 5 dial Speedy and whether those 2 extra dials are worth ha...
Omega collection
Omega watches always have a place in my collection, come to think of it, I have had other Omega watches, like the Moon watch, and couple of Seamaster from various Winter Olympic Limited Edition but sold them years ago. I have yet to accept the looks of th...

Rattrapante and X-33
Thanks for all your comments. I took out my X-33 and took some photos just then, the Rattrapante & X-33 show many similarities when they are side-by-side. My X-33 according to Speedmaster-mission.net is the first model when released, on the back o...
