Back from Zermatt, here are better pics of my Speedmaster White Gold Moon Phase, ref...
....145.0055. This watch was produced between 1999 and 2005. It has a 18K white gold case (guys, this watch tells me: there is nothing as cool as white gold cases!!!!), a silver dial, calibre 1866. It is said - according to some Omega watch blogs, citing ...
Wonderful Speedy - even more appealing live :)
I have had the pleasure of handling the specimen of Speedie74 on several occasions and it is a true heavy hitter indeed. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for looking KMII, and thanks for your feedback. Heavy hitter, ...
... that's it. Cheers, HSTE
Wonderful pics, HSTE!
Many thanks for it! Indeed, this watch is the RAREST Speedmaster ever produced in the world with her 285 specimen! It is needless to say, why she is a real limited model, if I compare with the other Speedmaster 'limited edition' of 9999 pieces worldwide.....
Thanks Speedy74! I would take a more cautious view on things though....
1) The production run of 285 is not an official number, so it needs to be seen cautiously 2) There are clearly Speedmasters out there that are officially confirmed rarer i.e. Produced in lower numbers 3) There are watches of this reference out there with ...
Dear HSTE,
many thanks for your comments! Well, I didn\'t know that fact, that the watch has also a 77 million serial case number! Very, very interesting! Mine has a 48 million serial number, so it must be really produced in 1999! It means, that mine was really lyin...
Thanks Adam. In the end, what counts is: it is beautiful, ...
.... it is precious, it is rare. What else would one want. Cheers, HSTE
Thanks Nilo. I wish I had your photography skills to put it ....
.... better in scene. Cheers, HSTE
This is tops for me in terms of Speedys.
A wonderful, beautiful watch, especially up close and personal. BTW, I hope you had good weather and snow conditions in Zermatt.
Yip, although, last year it was like this.....
............and that - I think we have all to agree - looks more spectacular. Cheers, HSTE ...
Stunning photo.
Haven\'t been to Zermatt in a long time. Almost went this year but plans changed last moment. I look forward to going back. That background is just wonderful.
Maybe a silly question, pardon me...
why, is a white gold case so cool? Because of the weight? Because of its warm color? What did you have in mind when you wrote that? For me white gold has a really nice color - at least if there is enough Palladium mixed in. But it is also a very soft mate...
Hmmmmm, good one MCG. I think that for me personally, it is indeed the tick warmer color over steel....
...combined with the weight and the "understatement". You will not see me wearing 18k yellow or red gold stuff. And, I agree: it is more vulnerable to scratches than steel but: my watches survive the office job usually un-harmed. On this parti...
Pleasure! I see your points, and I would probably name them equally! The whole package is just near perfect...
(is there a perfect watch anyway... ?! ;-) Another cool thing that I did not see before on a Speedmaster: the Skeleton-Second-hand, which I find pretty important to appreciate the nice moon...!
