Nice but not really worth the hype. The bracelet doesn't really for my taste. Ibwpuld wear it on a velcro NASA strap

After seeing Raymond’s fantastic photos of the white Speedy and having time to spare, I stopped by the Omega Boutique to test the watch in person.

Needless to say, I liked the watch on press photos and I still think that after the clouds clear up, in a year or two I might get one so here’s my humble opinion… The dial is very appealing, superb legibility, much better than the Daytona due to the monoc...

You have a point...

Not a big fan of bracelets that tappers too much

Now that you brought up the point and thinking about it, it makes sense.

Looking at the pictures, it seems a disproportionate in relation to the 42mm case size.

My thoughts exactly

I generally like bracelets

but wouldn’t this piece look badass on a white rubber Omega strap?

I am sure it would - or a nice Omega Nato as well

Agreed!

I think you are harsh on the bracelet

 
 By: VinnieD : March 15th, 2024-15:01
Yes, the links are somewhat 'free-flowing' but note the original bracelet is extremely long, and links are narrow. This is just physics. Of course a short oyster will be tighter. The bracelet end pieces are much better than the previous ones are are reall... 

If it works for you I’m pleased and glad you like it, the bracelet that is.

And probably you’re right on the “better than the previous one”, but to me no matter how we slice it, or attempt to unsee it, it’s not on par with what it should be. It’s definitely flimsy and I seriously doubt, that this bracelet will last three decades ... 

I liked it initially when announced…

But, have kind of lost interest in it. I abhor the bracelet. I don’t like it from any angle, but, on my wrists, it looks dainty as it tapers…which makes it an ainty 😂 See what I did there? 😂 But, seriously, I hate these newer bracelets, had it on my Speed... 

Almost same sentiments here.

For some reason I never caught the bug, but two models are interesting. I had really high hope for this one, but now it’s not a must have. And yes, the old style bracelets are superior in my books as well…🥂

Thanks for your reviews and I also think their rubber strap is really nice…

In fact their rubber strap are more comfortable than the Daytona oyster flex without the 2 inner lips that will indent my thin and old wrist skin lol… I also see the bracelet is a little less rigidly built than Rolex but it’s still comfortable. It looks b...  

Wonderful place, I’m happy for you!!!

I agree with you on the rubber strap, tried it on this gold model just for the feel, and it felt good and comfortable. As I mentioned, I like the watch overall for what it is, the only weak link is the bracelet… One day, after I get my Daytona, I might pu...  

Enjoy your holidays.
