She's back !
After 4 months of full service and mainspring replacement. It's so refreshing and i can't say enough how happy I am to put her on my wrist...like a long lost love 
Curiously, they also replaced the chronograph second hand, main hour hand, and one of the subdial 's hand. Even though they were not broken when I sent the watch in. Any insight?
Coincidentally, Omega is celebrating the Moonlanding 50th anniversary. So it's very fitting for me to celebrate also.
Happy Friday!

Great looking one.......
Where did you get the bracelet from? I usually see this in a NATO......
yes it was came on NATO
I bought the titanium bracelet from Omega boutique. It is from Skywalker X-33 bracelet, but somehow it fits perfectly on speedy Pro (same 20 mm lug width).
It is light , smooth as silk , and very comfortable. Plus, it makes the watch looks and feels like real tool watch.
The price of the bracelet costing an arm and leg, however....more expensive than IWC bracelet which IMO is more sophisticated.

The hands were probably damaged or compromised
When they were removed for the service. It’s not uncommon that all hands get replaced (or you are charged for them) on a factory service.

Thanks Cazalea and Nico. I didn't realize that the hands are easily damaged during service. i thought that "it's just removing with tweezer, and done" :)
They don't charge me anything. i guess it is all covered in the factory service cost, even though the hands are gold.
Applied gold I believe ...solid gold hands we’d be a tax on gears and weight imbalances imo. [nt]

I was told by the watchmaker that....
The chronograph second hand is stainless steel with Gold PVD, because it's too thin, if pure gold will prone to break. But the other hands are from pure gold.
Anyway, it's beautiful and provide great contrast to the matte dial.

As Mike said, the hands are often changed during a service. Nothing extraordinary to that. Enjoy! [nt]

2 months because they have a took-over from another company
Plus 2 months of the servicing (including waiting for the hands sent from Bienne).
For me the best Speedmaster, most beautifull dial collor, titanium plus sedna gold whats not to love !? [nt]

Thank you. If I'm not mistaken, it's the first and still the only full titanium grade 2 Speedy Pro [nt]

Aye, and the one to have!
This is "the other" I'd love to get my hands on someday. In a virtual sea of Speedmasters your choice stands out. As you can see, my "Sapphire Sandwich" goes well with unaccompanied Bach.
But the Apollo 11 45th Anni. is one for the Kreisler Sonata! My congratulations. Enjoy this singular piece in the best of health! FH
Thank you for your kind word
I had a regular Speedy few years ago, it was one of my favourite watch. Incredibly versatile and cool iconic watch. Pity i had to sold it to fund another watch.
Your picture is stunning.
