Omega "Reverse" Speedy Panda 32105100
A few months ago I was searching high and low for an Omega Speedy Panda. I went in to the Omega boutique here in Beverly Hills just to try one on and to my surprise the watch was not easy to read.

She pulled out a 5167-1A-001 and just had to buy a Valentine's Day present for myself too.This would be a good piece alternating between my Daytona 116520 black dia

5980 SS on a Strap
Has anyone tried fitting their 5980 SS watch with a strap? I am curious to know how that went. I am really interested in this piece if the strap was an option with the SS version ala 5726A, be it custom. I like the Rose gold that Patek has out but I am not a rose gold person.
