The Watch Thread - Part 7

[iV3RsOn]

Nice Speedy Pro. I'm tempted to get a pre-owned Speedy Pro to wear with leather strap, simple and nice plus good value IMO.

The current Speedmaster Pro is exactly the same but different model number?

When did 3570.50 discontinue?

I know that there's another reduced version at 38mm automatic but cheaper right?

its out of production now and all in the hands of collectors. the complete set was a triplet of white, blue and black and pop up in the local watch forums from time to time. the white has a red "12" and probably the most collectible:

Woo how much does the set each worth now?

Current version is come with 1 big stupid box that weigh 4kg. With 2 straps, 1 toolbar, 1 loupe and 1 paperweight.

I think there is some modification to the metal bracelet.

Ya, not considering the reduced.

38mm plus ETA piggyback chrono module makes the watch thicker and less sophisticated. The original manual is more "meaningful".

My input for 011 Vs 109

Each and every dial face of the snowflake is different from each other due to the process they use to finish the dial, making it the truly limited edition watch. Not to mention it's much more complex than the 109 dial.

The blue hands looks better on the 011 due to the fact it's blue on super white (joke intended) background. Unlike 109 which is more of a light cream coloured dial.

The hour markers on 011 trumps the 109 hands down, no contest there.

E only saving grace for 109 to me simply is the movement. It's the super 9R15 movement which is mind boggling since the 9R65 is already so accurate. Not to mention the golden medallion on the rotor.

The new boxset cost 600 euros extra. Lucky the munich boutique had 1 last old boxset. I wouldn't know where to store the new boxset, it's damn huge.

 

[Lezzare]

Changed strap

Just went to big time and bought this "once in a blue moon" for V Day, hope she likes it

 

[gaoxing84]

Just compared the Rolex oyster bracelet vs omega bracelet. The Rollie feels so much more sturdy and solid. Haha
No wonder pay so much more for 916L steel. Haha
GMT Batman or Sub!!!! Gian but broke

the big lion can be seen behind on the rotor powering the spring drive

very nice to see GS bring back the "18K gold medallion" as a tribute to the original. comparing with normal GS rotor (pic from the web):

the details is Superb!

yes the intricate dial work is just incredible and the light-play needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. it seems that this was a deliberate showcase of the fine GS craftsman skills - and not just unique production process.

aside from the obvious etched dial pattern that really comes alive with changing light direction with a slight twist of the arm, its amazing to see they managed to apply the logo on the very uneven etchings perfectly even with no mess and no gaps:
