For my fourth and final post (for now) here's some more photos. This is my 'dress' watch, an Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary LE. I love it as it looks like a normal Speedmaster but its not until you hold it that you realise it is somethign special. It is slightly heavier than a normal Speedmaster and has a fantastic display back. As far as I am aware it is also the first manual wind co-axial movement to be made:

Excellent, I really like that model. Great shots.

The size difference compared to the PO is surprisingly noticeable.

Wow simply fabulous box set! That movement is a gem to look at

what are the tools for? resizing?

and is the "space capsule" a loupe?

It would almost be worth wearing the watch upside down with a movement like that!

That is one very impressive box set. Love the precision tool set

Thanks for the replies guys. The tooolkit is for adjusting the watch bracelet and for swapping it with the leather strap. And yes that is a loupe in the photo. The whole box makes buuying the watch even more special, unlike a Daytona that holds its value for stupid reasons yet all you get is a watch and a simple box.

When I first started wearing the Speedmaster, it felt cheap and flimsy compared to the Seamaster due to the smaller size and lighter weight. However, now it feels 'just right' when wearing a shirt and suit, as it is discreet enough to hide inside your sleeve.
