Oh ok, I had another squint at your pic. It's the extended R dial. I don't think it should command any premium, but I do like this dial just that bit more.

Yah man.

Today I brought my kids to universal studios. We saw a boy of 6 or 7, shaven head, gaunt. He looks to be suffering from cancer. It was heart-wrenching and humbling. As I was fretting over my losses, this sight was a very timely reminder to me to put things in perspective and count all the blessings that are easily taken for granted.

Re: Can hoot this Speedy

Thanks herzaustahl and watchlooker, I see what you mean now. Here is a better look,

I googled "omega speedmaster dial' and got this link http://www.chronomaddox.com/speedy_dial_details.html

I think mine is what he calls 'mature professional' ; both the s and r are extended down to meet the p .

Re: Can hoot this Speedy

why mature? because sagging ah?

Re: Can hoot this Speedy

hohoho...really is fast hand fast leg hoot.. sorry but I am never a sexpert.

2.3k SGD is a good price considering now its moving more to 2.6-2.8K(at least) range for such cal 861 moonwatch riao..this is just for local market. And dont think you can get a 861 speedy at 2KUSD nowadays from overseas unless you literally fhfl at angmoh's timezone.

Its a nice casual/business dress wearer,suitable for all ocassion,also collectible and will sure maintain its value(tats if you dont overpay as per current market value max).So I can safely said you made a right hoot and GXGX..

there are many websites to determine speedy variants but i like this one;

http://chronomaddox.com/omega/tables/mr/speedy_history_cm.html" false;

tally watch reference no with movt calibre.

also there are many interlinks in chronomaddox that you can readup on.

sounds like a nice guy, it's nice when we meet these kind of sellers but i tink the chance is minority in local mkt ;)
