My First Omega (Speedmaster Professional 35th Anniversary Apollo Soyuz)
It finally arrived freshly built from Omega 1 month, 22 days after I ordered it. The look of slight disgust when I told the sales person that I wasn't going to wear the steel bracelet with it was amusing... but she did admit that it looked pretty sharp once she saw it on the watch.

The 315 equipped references I'm considering are 5035, 5036, 5056. Thanks for your comments....
