Title: Omega Speedmaster Professional 311.30.42.30.01.006 (unboxing)
Post by: Willie Ho on June 21, 2016, 08:10:19 PM
after selling off my Speedmaster Reduced, it feels like something is missing
http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=15374.0 (http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=15374.0)

everytime whenever i saw a Speedmaster, i felt regret for letting go my Speedmaster Reduced

so, to end all this misery, i get myself a Speedmaster back

but this time, not a Speedmaster Reduced, i want a Speedmaster Professional

1st impression, it has a huge box
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_220308_zpscrrprnca.jpg)

open up, another box
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_220444_zpsgbdunyhf.jpg)

open up again, see my baby, but not too sure what is the coin for, a medal?  :D
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221225_zps48iaivbv.jpg)

i go for sapphire version instead of hesalite version
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221321_zps6b99imtu.jpg)

a whitish ring is visible around the edge of sapphire crystal
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221407_zpsv43fojdb.jpg)

a beautiful crown with Omega logo on it
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221436_zpsj7ijx7xn.jpg)

another angle, original bracelet is using screw instead of pin
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221533_zps7kpctkur.jpg)

the crystal has a more edgy profile, unlike the hesalite version, which has a roundish dome
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221552_zpss9k1nogc.jpg)

another reason why i go for sapphire version, an exhibition case back
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_221826_zpsz7a6nbyf.jpg)

photo taken using loupe comes with the watch
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_222001_zpsenwn2dod.jpg)

so, these are what come with the watch, it should take up quite some space in my shelf
(http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/s598/Willie_Ho/20160614_222300_zpsmecynqrb.jpg)

at last, i got my Speedmaster  :D

thanks for viewing  ;)

Very sweet. Am very jealous that the packaging of my Omega Dark Side of the Moon does not match up to this at all. Congratulations on your recent acquisition.

Thanks, after i arrived home, i start to scratch my head, wondering where to store the huge box, somemore i never intend to use the straps come with it, only useful stuff is the loupe & spring bar tool

Normal box is more practical  :Cheers:

I think speedmaster moon watch looks good on a Nato strap... black/olive...etc


i nearly bought the big Box Omega Moonwatch (hesalite version) from Watatime 1 Utama too... after i
finished watching movie at GSC, went back to watatime.. the moon watch was sold :)  :'(

not many moon watch stocks in authorised AD ... i saw the leather version of the moon watch (sapphire)
quite tempting..cos is old stock without big box..so the price is cheaper... the current price is RM20.8K (with
big box)

maybe i would try out the original Nato, see how does it looks like on my wrist, but i'm a leather guy, i like watch with leather strap very much, all of my watches are using leather strap, except for my daily beater on bracelet

yup, most shop doesn't keep stock, but they are able to order for u

gotta try your luck, if it's yours, it's yours

watch hunting is kinda fun actually, especially the moment when u found it :D

Oh ya.. dont use d ori nato.. its double strap makes it sit too high on d wrist.. kind of awkward for me.. found a cheap single loop nato which fits better..

Of course leather would be best.. good luck

Nice write up and a very nice trio of watches you have.  I have never owned that or any IWC but have come close a couple of times.  Need another Speedmaster or Navitimer now thank you very much.
