    That rules out any possibility of an Omega Speedmaster Speedbird then :-).

    Re: Been sweating on this coming through

    I seem to recall a line from a Shakespeare play that came to mind during the Omega vs. Eddie legal spat -- 'the first thing we do is to kill all the lawyers.' Hopefully, the trademarking of 'Speedbird' will mean that such savagery isn't necessary. Well, not straightaway...

    Well done Eddie.

    Shouldn't try to register in the US however: at my local Omega AD, people looking to buy a Speedmaster most often request a "Speedbird". Thus your internet business could be viewed as a violation of Omega's trademark in the US.

    Well done, but it occurs to me you have a trade mark that looks best when not obviously displayed on your watch

    Good news.

    I am very happy for you. The original "Speedbird" has become an iconic watch, and you deserve to own the rights to its name. :)
    Cheers,

    Nice one Eddie. I always liked the name. It's a strangely obvious one that nobody has used before.
