    Custom Speedy Pro Project Finally Complete

    My Custom Speedy Project is finally complete. (was a standard 3572.50)

    Panda dial, silver hands and silver bezel on mesh

    Very pleased with the final results.

    Like it. Good to see people modding a more expensive watch instead of 'just' a Seiko.

    not too keen on the mesh look, but the head is very nice. Very individual.

    Custom Speedy Pro Project Finally Complete

    ^I agree it looks better on leather. A rallye style strap would be my choice.

    Mesh dont do it for me. I would go with black leather which make killer combo!

    Very VERY nice

    That IS the watch that Omega should have offered instead of the stupid idea of the limited edition panda that they did release. Just imagine how many Panda Speedmasters they would
    sell in that configuration instead of the miserly few ltd ones that they did sell. I note that the automatic Date model has a dial variant very similar to yours but it is not a pro

    It's nice but in a weird kind of way... I guess I just wouldn't have one like that myself.

    I think for me it works best on OEM brown alligator...plus a better picture on black alligator

    Great stuff MFB, looks fantastic on alligator, seeing a lot of modding of speedies lately, some fantastic options available.

    Looks great - given the large and varied number of old parts (dial, hands, case, bezel) available, I'm surprised not to see more modified Speedmasters. There are so many official variants (not to mention individual country versions) that you can hardly question the bearing of something custom! Great job, and I prefer it on the dark brown croc strap for what it's worth.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    It looks SO clean - lovely, and it's is great to see an "up-market" watch modded so tastefully.

    Cheers,

    Andy

    Wow, that's a really cracking transformation!
    It really looks it's best on leather strap, as stated before.

    Love the panda combination. 8)
    Omega have bought out some ghastly watches of late inc that nasty new X-MYEYES-R-BURNING moon to blind school edition.
    Perhaps thay should look at watches that enthusiasts make like this one to remember what they do best :)

    I'm still wanting to put the pre 57 style braodarrow hands on my speedie so this has reminded me to pull my finger out :wink:

    Cheers

    Looks perfect on the leather. Ideal for work or play. 8)

    Re: Custom Speedy Pro Project Finally Complete

    That looks superb. I'd love to see it with Broadarrow hands, but I think it's probably better as it is.

    Great result Michael! I wouldn't have the guts to mod a watch like the speedy, but it looks fantastic.
    Looks great on leather

    Re: Custom Speedy Pro Project Finally Complete

    This particular custom job is stunning also. Some of these custom jobs look so much more appealing than the vast majority of those cheesy LEs that Omega throw out.

    Re: Custom Speedy Pro Project Finally Complete

    Looks great and perfect on the leather - gator for smart or rally for casual. Don't like the broad arrow hands so much so think you made a good choice.
    I'm not normally so keen on the silver bezel for the speedie, but I think this looks great!
