 Classic Beauty Dec 22, 2008
Even if you take out it's acheivements in the Space Program, this watch could stand on it's own as one of the finest timepieces ever built. I sit it next to the Rolexes in my watch case and it instantly takes command, making the Rolexes seem like unworthy subordinates. Plus, call me wierd but I love the morning winding ritual. This has become my treasured daily-wearer and will continue to be until it outlasts me.

 Be Careful Dec 16, 2008
I was sold a FAKE omega speedmaster!!! The seller had no pictures, just a stock file photo and when it arrived it was a horribly made copy! It took a month but amazon credit my account!!!
Horological classiness! Dec 09, 2008
The OMEGA SpeedMaster Professional "moonwatch" is a historical, significant piece of horology and NASA space/moon exploration that you can wear on your wrist! While Rolex has also spent time in space via their GMT model the SpeedMaster was the first watch on the moon and used to help time rocket burns. It is tough and accurate. Mine has been running +/- 5 seconds/day and while it's strange to wind my watch by hand after being used to "automatics", it has earned a place on my wrist for life. This model is a must have for any true watch collector OR space exploration, Apollo Mission, history buff.

 The Value is not here. Jul 17, 2008
I have two speedmasters and have had them for about 8 and 5 years respectively. They both have the same attibutes, they run slow after being serviced by Omega, the bracelets -- the pins fall out of them [they don't use better threaded type screws], the sliding clasps just don't stand up. Omega does not make the movements for these watches, ETA makes the majority of the automatics. You are buying what you believe is an authentic watch from the ground up but its not the 'case', you are buying only the 'case'. Omega is a Swatch company, and you can buy them anywhere, heavily discounted. As you are aware Swatch makes costume jewelry quartz throwaways. This corportate link degrades from from the value of the watch. I have owned two Rolex watches, one since 1984 and the other since 1995 both bought new. They are superior in quality, time accuracy, look, finish and value. They run for years after servicing and keep running fast within tolerance-- about +1 to +6 seconds/day. You will be getting a much very value with the Rolex, so just spend the money and enjoy it. Rolex movements are great and the reputation for customer service is flawless. The bracelets are very good. They protect their name and their dealerships are hand choosen. This value means greater pride to own the best, and why spend this much money without pride & heritage. Go to Rolex.com and read about how they build their movements and the extreme detail to attention. If you own an Omega and enjoy it thats fine.

Good Size Watch May 08, 2008
I've never seen this watch up close before so all the descriptions about how big and heavy the watch was really had me concerned. After receiving this I find it to be a perfectly sized men's watch. My day to day watch was a Suunto Vector. The Omega has the same size face but the case of the watch is thinner and smaller than the Vector so it looks just right to me. The weight is solid and I got used to it quickly. The links weren't too difficult to adjust but you may want to take this to a watchsmith or purchase a pin extract tool to go with this (I popped the pins out with a thumbtack and then used a leatherman to pull it the rest of the way out - be careful not to scratch the band). All in all a solid purchase with no regrets.
