The Omega Speedmaster is my favorite watch model. I love the design, history, and variation. The Speedy collection has now grown beyond a single case!

From left to right, top to bottom:

  • X-33 Marstimer (quartz)
  • Grey Side of the Moon meteorite dial
  • Racing dial in red
  • Heritage ‘57 in black/leather band
  • Heritage ‘57 in burgundy/bracelet
  • Moonphase in blue
  • Speedy Pro Apollo XVII Last Man on the Moon on red strap (early 2000s)
  • Speedy Pro series with display case back, copper movement decoration (mid 1980s)
  • Speedy Pro 145.022 with 321 movement (late 1960s) on leather strap
  • Speedy Pro with display case back (mid 1990s)
  • Speedy Pro w/Mitsukoshi dial & hands
  • Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8
  • Ultraman edition
  • Speedy Pro Canopus
  • Apollo XIII 50th Snoopy
  • Hodinkee 10th anniversary edition

New Super Racing on order. Ironically one of the obvious models not here is a current series 3861 Speedy Pro, partly because I can’t decide which version to get.

Speedy lovers, what variants are your favorite?

Thought I recognized the Ultraman in there - that's my dream watch. You know how to make a collection!

[–] papijaja@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Got any pics of the copper 863 movement? That's a rare one!

Fantastic. Of the new version, I was rummaging for a long while which one to get. I have the SS 3861 and I spend lots of time during the day looking at it not even remembering what’s the time after I check it out.

Question. Would you free up a couple of them or something to get a full whack gold speedy? I guess less reasons/heritage to it but boy the green dial one is just beautiful

(Reference hand watch clearly not mine)

Jeez collection of a great brand, but man oh man, do I hate chronos.

[–] melcolnik@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love this so much. This isn’t a collection. It’s a singular obsession (that I share) and it’s been executed amazingly. That Ultraman is giving me the vapors.

[–] Uwumeshu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this a quest to own every single model?

Well, there are themed collections, and themed collections. This would be the latter kind, and it's a superb collection to boot.

[–] actinross@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think you need a Speedmaster.

PS Did you push one of those buttons, ever....? Just wonder.

[–] MagicalOrgazm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone was hating on the guy with all black divers, but praising this guys collection..

[–] Wildcat_Dunks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reminds me of J Roc saying "gnomesayin" too many times. Once or twice is cool, but this many times, man?

[–] MagicalOrgazm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

80-90 speedmasters man!?

[–] Loop__Digga@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

truly a master of speed

[–] Richey4TheStars@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Congratulations on all your money!

[–] CheGuevarasRolex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m drooling over the meteorite dial, that is absolutely unbelievable.

[–] pro-jec-tion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Any Aqua Terra for a change?

[–] SuperLehmanBros@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wow you love speediest. Gotta get yourself a MoonSwatch or two!

[–] VedVyas818@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

any desire to acquire the first edition snoopy? just curious

[–] CheGuevarasRolex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There are some gorgeous Speedys my word

[–] Popular_Echo4882@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This would’ve been hilarious as a “what should I get next” post

[–] bentone111@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man, you need a TV dial worse than I do I think.

[–] TheMortgageBoss@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wait until he finds out about the Seamaster!

[–] Darcasm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Have you thought about getting any of the anniversary editions? Forgive me if I’m stupid and you already have one.

[–] innie10032@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] No-Patient8275@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] GoldEscargot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is badass.

[–] PatelGaurav@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Design_Ai@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You must be either a professional race car driver or an astronaut. Fantastic private collection OP!!

[–] xPervypriest@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All mega no Alpha

[–] Vettehead82@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have 3 Speedmaster pros and I felt a bit like I was over doing it.

Very cool collection and thank you for making me feel better ;)

[–] VaporRyder@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s insane! Hats off to you sir!

[–] the_pedigree@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Every once in a while I have an intrusive thought telling me I’m too deep into whatever hobby I’m into. I’m just thankful I can come here and see I’m no where near as bad as I could be. In other words, beautiful collection.

[–] YoureTerrific@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like that Mars timer.

You’re missing the Chrono Chime!

Honestly, fantastic collection!

[–] fyonn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! If you get bored of them, feel free to throw one in my direction! 😀

[–] AlwaysKindaLost@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Are you guys okay

[–] NYGMT@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve seen some wildly redundant collections before, but this sure takes the cake. FWIW, I’m at about 9-10 watches in my collection and my Speedmaster gets the most wrist time.

[–] ethanwc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Whattya do for a living?

[–] uSpeziscunt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, this is cool and all, but where are the retros? No Ed whites, no Wally's, no mark II or III. You have the modern broad arrow, but no fios. Sounds like you've got a lot of work to do. 🤷

But seriously, insane collection. Love all of them. Especially the 145.022. Are you not a fan of the mark II ?

[–] VinceMaverick@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice Snoopy and Ultraman if my eyes doesn't deceive me !

Missing my favorites though:

  • Speedy Tuesday Panda
  • Apollo 15 40th anniversary
  • Apollo - Soyouz 35th anniversary
  • Alaska

You know what to do next!

[–] pjmaertz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It seems you have a type

[–] MrManDan94@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Which is your favorite/gets the most wear?

[–] matthewstabstab@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What is your thought process is when you go to buy a watch?

[–] _visiblemode_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is….bravo, sir. Still working on number 1.

[–] krusty47@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Therapy is cheaper than that many speedmasters
