The only reason mine looks in good condition is because...
...the photo shown was taken on the day I first wore the watch. It was a recent NOS find after years and years of searching. The two NOS samples I found earlier were not really new. One was probably put on display for too long and subjected too excessive handling. The other came from a questionable source so I took a pass also.
This last one I found and bought is great and really new although it does have a small ding on the white gold bezel. You can see more of the watch here timeout.watchprosite.com

Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Broad Arrow - How to resist ...
Team, This one was offered to me and ... How to resist? I'm in love with the perfect balance ... Even on the date indicator. I will do a more detailed post ASAP. Cheers, Nilo...
Very true.....
Hi there, I fully understand your feeling at this moment. I once own a speed master without the moon phase It was already captivating especially with its broad arrows In Blue complimenting each other with its Snow White dial....it's the best Omega one can...
I owned several Broad Arrow ...
The "1957" (manual wind, no date) black dialed. The Broad Arrow automatic (F. Piguet) black and white dialed. But I never got one, manual wind, date (central) with moon phase. That is my first and moved to the "keeper" area. Thanks, Nilo
I couldn't resist...
Twice! Had one and traded it off. Missed it so bad I got another one. A friend made me an offer I couldn't refuse and now I wish I did ;-( ...
I can imagine your feeling ...
Just arrived from my watchmaker and the Speedmaster is in a wonderful shape. BTW: I loved your avatar. Cheers, Nilo
You know what they say, Miki . . .
. . . "the third time's the charm." :-) PS - UN moderator Marcus H owns one, if memory serves correct.
Omegas are like potato chips . . .
. . . one is never enough! :-) I'm not actively looking to add another at the moment, but of all the genres and sub-types, the one at the top of the vintage list would be a C-case Constellation or Seamaster. Cordially, Art
Same here, about moon phase ...
But this one is manual wind, and I can try to keep it running all the time and have the moon phase correct. I believe that you didn't notice the black shell cordovan strap. Cheers, Nilo
you are quite right. i...
you are quite right. i missed the strap, but an excellent choice. you know how i love a bit of shell cordovan :) On 8 Oct 2013 20:42, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* nilomis (registered) on October 8th, 2013 - 12:42 > > *T...
We share suppliers for cordovan...
Fair price, nice quality, Germanic shipping efficiency. Thanks, Nilo
That is one good looking watch!
It is nice to have friends that offer you such beauties... Enjoy, Nilo! Cheers, Alex
I dare to say ...
That's one of the most beautiful watches that I own or owned. I love the perfect balanced of the four sub dials. Thank you Alex. Cheers, Nilo
This model will always have a special place in my heart.
I am also wearing it as I type this. So a big congratulations to you for finding one. Even if one day the new 9300 powered Speedmaster '57 may come with a moonphase, it will be very difficult to beat the aesthetics and balance of this one. Ruckdee ...
i agree 100% ...
Yours looks in great shape. I didn't tried mine on the bracelet. Someday I will do. Yours looks cool. Mine is in fine shape and the original owner took a great care of it. I'm so happy with mine that I'm considering it as a companion for my trusty El Prim...

I changed my perception of dings ...
Years back, the first minor scratch ... Horror. Now I accept those incidents as part of life and they add my history with the watch. Funny that you mentioned the ding on the bezel. My watch previous owner was so obsessed that he acquired, with the watch a...
Bullseyes!!
I could not agree more!! But I like on steel bracelete, looks bigger! Tks! ...
Maybe that is the reason why ...
I hate metal bracelets. They don't go well with my underdeveloped skinny wrist. Yours, that looks like an ogre ... fits nice. Cheers, Nilo
