Does anyone have one of these? I'm guessing they don't come up for sale much as I can't seem to see any anywhere? Just wondering what sort of price you're looking at when they do come up.

It's a nice watch isn't it.

They currently do a "panda" version but with yellow rather than red accents I prefer the red accents myself on the one you linked to, the current one is a bit fussy compared.

It's 3k new.

Going to order a Cordura strap and deployment clasp for it so this will be the finished look:

^ very nice. I like these a lot as well, especially on a strap like that.

Cheers! Yes I prefer straps and deployment clasps to bracelets and think it looks lovely on the black strap but it should do I it will cost another £400 for the strap and clasp!

Very nice also like the Cordura strap, that is one of my favourite colour combinations (totally jealous)

Thank you, although I must thank the OP as I didn't know they existed in a black/white and red detailing combo I just happened to be looking at watches on Chrono24 when he posted the thread.

(I'm now totally broke) hehe

Here you go as it came on the bracelet, I've changed my mind though and I'm swapping it for a Planet ocean tomorrow.

Really? Seems a shame.
I've got the same watch on Cordura, but with the grey face.

I know! Crazy fool that I am. hehe

I picked up the PO today I prefer the chunky 45.5mm case (although for me Omegas always wear smaller on the wrist than mm would suggest and it doesn't look crazy big even on my limp wrists) The picture I posted shows the speedy to be much larger than it is in the flesh.

PO:




But I love the details of the speedy, nice watch!

Fair dos. That PO looks good!

I always think of PO's being those orange jobs, which look a bit... rolleyes

I had my heart set on a Planet Ocean and was pretty tempted by the overtly orange version. However after some consideration, I opted for the same model as Wills; 45.5mm black numbers/black bezel. Almost 6 years on, I'm glad I bought the Black/Black variant. It's timeless.

Also looks pretty good in conjunction with a B&W filter! tongue out

Very swish.
What does the pusher/crown do at ten o'clock?
