Off topic now, but for the record I've nothing against Speedmasters. Actually got this one hopefully turning up in the post tomorrow! But yes, I think they released too many also.

^nice one

Please go to amazon and order an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner + Simichrome metal polish.

This beauty deserves some love and tenderness.

Thanks. Will investigate ultrasonic cleaners. Didn't realise you could get cheap domestic versions. I may just swap the bracelet out for a leather strap, though initially 😀

Hopefully a human-sized Railmaster, and most probably a new color palette for the Speedmaster.

Some of the color palettes on the Speedmaster Professional have been pretty cool IMO. The blue-dial Gemini IV and the titanium Apollo XI 45th Anniversary are both a lot of fun to wear!
Though I do hope we're done with the different Sides of the Moon too. The original was really cool, but it's getting a bit ridiculous now

Speaking about Speedmasters; I am on the waiting list for this one:

I do like that one a lot. I am also on the look out for a lightly used numbered edition FOIS at a reasonable price. I nearly snagged one a week or so ago but it sold to somebody else moments before I could get my offer in.

I wish for a white dial with black sub-dial, and had to give @Hubert a push...

Kudos to TH for going all the way with a third vote!
The "Hubert" 2446C SN has my vote too.

Thanks guys! Hopefully lady luck will smile upon us. 👍

That one's somewhat interesting, not for me though. Besides, I just picked up a 2005 Gemini IV limited edition, which is enough of a blue Speedmaster to last me a while. Still, good luck!

@imagwai go to the Omega Forums (sister site to this one, same login etc) and look for member Kringkily. He can help source you a nice FOIS

Well it arrived and leather strap is on. Bracelet doesn't look dirty at all in real life but I am probably going to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner once the wallet recovers. 😀

Yeah, I'd just taken a picture in daylight so it was fresh when I took the second in a darker spot.

That lume would work nicely on your next mission to the Dark Side of the Moon! 😉 Granted that you catch a bit of light first!
