I think you need a Speedmaster.

PS Did you push one of those buttons, ever....? Just wonder.

Is this a quest to own every single model?

[–] xenc23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That seems impractical but I like the audacity of it.

[–] xenc23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

The Omega Speedmaster is my favorite watch model. I love the design, history, and variation. The Speedy collection has now grown beyond a single case!

From left to right, top to bottom:

  • X-33 Marstimer (quartz)
  • Grey Side of the Moon meteorite dial
  • Racing dial in red
  • Heritage ‘57 in black/leather band
  • Heritage ‘57 in burgundy/bracelet
  • Moonphase in blue
  • Speedy Pro Apollo XVII Last Man on the Moon on red strap (early 2000s)
  • Speedy Pro series with display case back, copper movement decoration (mid 1980s)
  • Speedy Pro 145.022 with 321 movement (late 1960s) on leather strap
  • Speedy Pro with display case back (mid 1990s)
  • Speedy Pro w/Mitsukoshi dial & hands
  • Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8
  • Ultraman edition
  • Speedy Pro Canopus
  • Apollo XIII 50th Snoopy
  • Hodinkee 10th anniversary edition

New Super Racing on order. Ironically one of the obvious models not here is a current series 3861 Speedy Pro, partly because I can’t decide which version to get.

Speedy lovers, what variants are your favorite?

Got any pics of the copper 863 movement? That's a rare one!

Loving the x33! I have the first edition and I love it to death ❤️

Well, there are themed collections, and themed collections. This would be the latter kind, and it's a superb collection to boot.

[–] melcolnik@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love this so much. This isn’t a collection. It’s a singular obsession (that I share) and it’s been executed amazingly. That Ultraman is giving me the vapors.

[–] calculating_hello@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like the Speedmaster, but you LIKE the Speedmaster.

[–] robjm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is a man who knows what he likes.

[–] talktomoshe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That blue side of the moon makes my knees weak

[–] VinceMaverick@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice Snoopy and Ultraman if my eyes doesn't deceive me !

Missing my favorites though:

  • Speedy Tuesday Panda
  • Apollo 15 40th anniversary
  • Apollo - Soyouz 35th anniversary
  • Alaska

You know what to do next!

[–] TheMortgageBoss@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wait until he finds out about the Seamaster!

[–] YoureTerrific@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like that Mars timer.

[–] Punkpunker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wish Omega would make a "dumbed down" version of that quartz movement as a marstimer reduced or a digital only version as an up market casio gshock

[–] randalljai@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The moonwatch was the first watch I fell in love with and what got me into watches; but I don't own a speedy lol. It's on my list! After awhile I discovered that there were anniversaries watches with snoopy and made me love them even more (I love Snoopy). I wish to own a Snoopy edition one day.

Out of curiosity, how difficult was it for you to get the 50th anniversary Snoopy?

Therapy is cheaper than that many speedmasters

[–] MagicalOrgazm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone was hating on the guy with all black divers, but praising this guys collection..

[–] pro-jec-tion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Any Aqua Terra for a change?

[–] Wildcat_Dunks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reminds me of J Roc saying "gnomesayin" too many times. Once or twice is cool, but this many times, man?

You need Jesus.

This is a true love letter to omega. This man should get a free rose gold speedy

[–] thesliu5@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

the apollo 13 50th anniversary, ed white 321 resissue, hodinkee (i also own one), and speedy tuesday alaska project tribute are my faves. the schumacher red, yellow, and blue reduced are also pretty cool.

great collection!

[–] Loop__Digga@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

truly a master of speed

[–] jlew715@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Needs a Blue Side

[–] AlwaysKindaLost@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Are you guys okay

[–] karma3000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Instead of all these mid tier watches, you could have got one nice watch.

I mean, this is cool and all, but where are the retros? No Ed whites, no Wally's, no mark II or III. You have the modern broad arrow, but no fios. Sounds like you've got a lot of work to do. 🤷

But seriously, insane collection. Love all of them. Especially the 145.022. Are you not a fan of the mark II ?

[–] 33jeremy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

With a collection like that they had better give you the chance to buy that Snoopy!!!!

Haha looks like the marketing worked. No moonswatch for giggles?

[–] Fishtacodawg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh cool, what editions of MoonSwatches are those?

[–] pjmaertz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It seems you have a type

[–] RockitDanger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I like the 57 more than the Snoopy.

[–] Richey4TheStars@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congratulations on all your money!

[–] anthony_blue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You’re missing the Chrono Chime!

Honestly, fantastic collection!

[–] warmcreamsoda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dude, do you have a gainful but perhaps repetitive job?

[–] ks7atl@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So, what’s the end game here?

[–] bentone111@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man, you need a TV dial worse than I do I think.

[–] fyonn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! If you get bored of them, feel free to throw one in my direction! 😀

[–] VedVyas818@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

any desire to acquire the first edition snoopy? just curious

[–] _visiblemode_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is….bravo, sir. Still working on number 1.

[–] Popular_Echo4882@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This would’ve been hilarious as a “what should I get next” post

[–] matthewstabstab@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What is your thought process is when you go to buy a watch?

[–] Vettehead82@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jesus man, what do you do for work? I must be in the wrong industry.

These kinds of collections crack me up.

It’s pretty rare to find something you like this much. I cant imagine the glee you feel buying each one.

Stoked you’re stoked haha

[–] CheGuevarasRolex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There are some gorgeous Speedys my word

[–] CheGuevarasRolex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m drooling over the meteorite dial, that is absolutely unbelievable.

[–] xPervypriest@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All mega no Alpha

[–] CicadaEast9212@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Outstanding effort ser.

For aesthetics, please retake the photo with the chrono hands set at 6o clock.
