Introduction

Hi all,

New to the forums, thought I'd introduce myself.

Big space geek, and decided when my current watch of 15 years (Fossil) finally dies ... whenever it does, I'd like to up my quality to an Omega. Did lots of research on which one, and I thought I'd better begin reading up on how current members feel about them before I take the $2000+ plunge into a Speedmaster.

The one that's really grabbing my attention right now is the Gemini 4 limited ed. Really beautiful watch. I know it isn't the exact Moon watch, but beautiful nonetheless.

Anyway, I'll be around 😀

My personal choice was the Cal 321 Speedmaster Pro from 1967, but the Gemini IV was my second favorite, the blue looks amazing.

Here's my vintage piece:

I real think the Gemini 4 limited edition is an excellent choice. A super looking and distinctive watch that is not getting any easier to find. In fact I would advise you to start looking now and be read to jump when a nice one comes available, if that is you final selection

Here are 3 very trusted Japanese eBay sellers that you should follow. They all have various Speedys and stand behind their sales.

You can't go wrong with a speedy pro except it's hard to stop at one.
