A Time Capsule - Omega Speedmaster - The Story of the First Watch in Outer Space
Well, my watch collecting began many many years ago, around 1994 when I bought my first 'nice' watch, a TT Sub with blue dial. I kept that as my only watch for several years until IWC's caught my eye. Got myself a Flieger 3706, a 3713 Doppelchronograph, and an Aquatimer 3536. Anyways, I spent a lot of time at AD's, just browsing, and collecting all manner of freebie brochures etc that they were only too willing to hand out. I then sold all those watches so that I could buy a house. Many many years later, in 2012 in fact, I re-started my watch collection again, and having acquired 5 lovely Rolex's, am now ready to explore some other brands. I have an AP RO on my wishlist, but also an Omega Moonwatch. I've always wanted one of them, either the 3570.50 manual wind Hesalite, or a 3572.50 or 3573.50 with a see thru case back.Anyways, as I was thinking about Moonwatches this afternoon, I suddenly remembered something an AD gave me for free many many years ago.

Just got Speedy Reduced BACK!
Just picked up my Speedy Reduced from Omega Beverly Hills after a $530+tax service. Got a new crystal, new push buttons, new bracelet pins and a new two year warranty. Along the way, the bracelet and watch got a complete overhaul and polish and they actually managed to take out a few nicks on the bezel...Too bad I didn't take any before photos and there is no use for the after as the watch looks essentially new. Had the watch since 1997 and never had a service until it started to run about +30Sec a day...now its about +3sec (checked this morning)....Happy Omega camper today and once again, the watch brings a smile to my face after all these years...
