Omega Speedmaster Racing

[@SuperPeleke]

Ah yes! I also have this reference. A keeper for me as well, it was the watch my wife gave me when we got married. Specs wise it's a killer deal. Coaxial, automatic, date complication. It's really got all a man needs for every day forever.

[@PeterKotsa]

Excellent gift from the wife 🙏👍

[@TheBrah808]

The racing speedmaster does so much for the price point at 44% off in 2023. Date window 40mm (really 38) Grey dial/yellow (Batman) Great bracelet Great rubber alternative Column wheel Easy adjust date Your reviews helped me get the watch, thank you for this sleeper!

[@davidstjohn7943]

I'm with you on rotor wobble! I have it with a few Miyota movements and it makes me smile. It's fun!

[@PeterKotsa]

Another crazy enthusiast 😊😂👍

[@leonm2407]

Apart from your Meistersinger, all of your watches have struck a chord with me and that is saying something. We have exquisite taste... but seriously congrats on a real beauty.

[@135ipocketrocket2]

Massive congratulations. I think that's the best looking Speedy I've seen. Pandas abound, but that red....wow. Love the wobblers as well, and have many in my collection. It's a happy tactile interaction for a living timepiece. What a great find. Enjoy it! 👍👍👍

[@markbyrum4743]

Good to hear about the Chrono24 experience. Good to see your "itch" was "scratched." Good vid. Keep at it!

[@CornelisWH4303]

Congratulations on this great purchase, Peter! One of the most beautiful versions of the Speedmaster. This could easily be my grailwatch.

[@nikkolomakaveli8295]

Nice speedy very unique not the typical Moon watch variant. That column wheel makes such a difference with the chronograph function. That strap really brings out the spirit of that particular model.

[@lowcountry79]

Cool choice. I’m really not a fan of chronographs, but I’ve owned a Speedmaster before. It was fun, just never really connected with it though. But I do like that version. Great choice. Thanks for sharing.

[@elefantrising]

I had not bought an omega in probably 20 years and recently grabbed a seamaster and Omega is def great quality

[@juniorgallo8786]

It reminds me the Speedsmaster Schumacher, but modern. Nice chronograph!!!

[@davidrosenblum2178]

I had the opportunity to buy one of these a few years ago. It was the charcoal-colored dial variant with red accents on the bracelet. It was in a store in Narita, Japan, from which I had purchased another watch previously and was immaculate. Had the box and papers and was like new. I remember agonizing over that choice because I thought 40mm was just a bit too small for my wrist. But it did look good and I appreciated its design just like you. In retrospect I should have jumped at the chance to add it to my collection and will remember that hopefully so as not to make the same mistake again. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

[@Konsaliki]

Never seen that exact colour combination on a speedy before. What a beauty! Congrats!

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers

[@andrewd7586]

Peter I’ve bought several watches through Chrono24, including a beautiful WW2 era vintage Rolex. I found it a safe way to purchase especially via Escrow! I would not hesitate again if I find what I’m after!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks for sharing Andrew 👍

[@thewatchmission7693]

I've never seen that color Omega, its amazing!

[@mayukhdutta2787]

Hi Peter. I bought the white dial version of the same model a couple of months back.. after I saw your older video for the reverse panda variant. Thanks for helping me make the call.. cheers!

[@PeterKotsa]

Great stuff Top variant and very practical Enjoy

[@martinharrison4245]

Blimey glad I'm not the only one splashing out this week. Love the speedy Peter, although I prefer the original black / white colourway. This is the first time I've seen it in red, looks great on that suede strap. Just got my sla 043 today and I'm smitten. Like you I purchased it 2nd hand via eBay, but eBay are now offering a athentuacy guarantee on any watch over 2k.basically the seller sends it to be checked and if it's gen, they then post it to the buyer. To be honest never have had a problem buying 2nd hand goods off eBay, but then I have been doing it for over 17 years. I don't know if you seen any sla 62mas models in the flesh Peter, but the size would be right up your alley. Got it for an amazing price considering it was only purchased in June this year. May need to get a bigger watch box now though, lol.

[@PeterKotsa]

haha, glad it arrived and you're happy. But maybe that bigger watch box is in order mate 😂

[@martinharrison4245]

@@PeterKotsa just bought a new 8 grid one for the safe. So much for getting down to 3 watches, lol

[@PaulewingStHelens]

I'm with you on the rota wobble. My Citizen diver (right on the other end of the buying scale :) has it and I always like it when it starts whirring away. Fair play to you taking the risk on buying it unknown. Looks like it's played out though, It's a gorgeous looking watch. Thanks for the review.

[@justplainlawr]

Can you elaborate on rotor wobble? What is it?

[@PaulewingStHelens]

@@justplainlawr Wobble is probably the wrong term. Spinning is more what I'm describing. If you jerk the watch in quick wrist action you can hear the rota free spinning. Depending on the watch it can be quite loud especially if you place it on a flat surface which can amplify it. It's not actually winding the watch though. The rota winds one way only and the other way is just free spinning and that's what you can hear.

[@coldfusioneer]

@@PaulewingStHelens Like a fidget spinner? :)

[@duongnguyenwatch]

I just got mine, and it is incredible, combining with uncle Seiko bracelet makes it much better. Thanks for your review.

[@kazochrymowicz3076]

It is an amazing model. I have just received my racing model in black on blue and love it

[@rickrounds5150]

A real beauty. I love the tall and narrow date (text) complication too.

[@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw]

The surface texture of the dial in the sunlight is amazing. Congrats!

[@PeterKotsa]

Yeah it does really play well in sunlight Cheers

[@TiMEworn]

The Red looks more bordeaux/darker here than most products shots that I've seen so far! Looks even better in your presentation. Great purchase! Love some good wobble-wind, too! P.S. I appreciate your message towards "older models". I personally do not get why one would limit themselves to only those models that are currently found in an AD's window. There are so many gems out there!

[@PeterKotsa]

Well said...gems for sure 👍

[@incaseofemergency6051]

That is a sweet piece! I agree that there is nothing negative to me about rotor wobble. It reminds me that I am wearing a watch with a 'heartbeat'.

[@PeterKotsa]

Nicely said 👍

[@markikn3183]

Ah, that's a beautiful watch, Peter! And the walk-thru on the Chrono24 private seller experience was interesting. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy it, great edition!

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers

[@sgt0331able]

I have bought and sold various watches from Rolex to Breitling. All so far have been a great pleasure to seek out watches. As for buying the watch again due to the fact of making a mistake to get rid of it, yes 👍 for sure it’s more of a keeper which will be fought over when passing on in life. So leave a detailed will. 🌹

[@jonathanedwards2983]

I don’t think I could buy a red watch, but that watch is beautiful. That dial texture is amazing in your outdoor shots.

[@yousif4646]

I love fun lively watches. That speedy’s surely one. Enjoy

[@jamesosenton7585]

I got this model after seeing your reverse panda video! I love the colour and the legability. Purchased through Chrono 24 as well, ticked all the boxes. Keep up the good work.

[@stevefox8605]

Cool, congrats 😎 Got my first Omega in the post, SM300m....really excited!!

[@PeterKotsa]

Beautiful, enjoy it Steve 😎😎

[@shanecalhoun7357]

That's a great watch. It's nice to see some bold new color combinations being tried in tasteful ways like this. 🙌

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Shane

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Im totally onboard with the rotor wobble, wearing my Guinand GMT 😉👍 Love this Omega 👍

[@PeterKotsa]

Rotor wobble forever..lol

[@jonbravo6262]

Thanks for sharing Peter. I LUV this variant, especially the red and textures for both (sub & main) dials… I wore my wobbly 2006 blue dial triple calendar for Speedy Tuesday this week, constantly looking down with the sensation. Having bought the safe colour choice back then, I have matured to ‘fun level’ red now, and will continue the search via your links. (Was on N.Hacko SYD this week checking selection) Cheers👍🏻

[@UltraDoug]

I discovered this watch through your previous vid and I agree, the only main ding is the legibility, but with this red variant and the blue (which I have my eye on) the legibility is fantastic. This really is a close to perfect Chrono. Fantastic vid! 😎👍🏼

[@orbitalgolem91]

Rotor wobble FTW! I love it too. That and the workhorse reliability of the Valjoux 77xx series.

[@PeterKotsa]

😂👍👍👍

[@michaelniemer4449]

Great to see you keeping true to your style, you always bring something interesting to enjoy. It’s really testament to the depth or your experience, and the strength of this particular online platform, that you found success in the pre-owned market without the face-to-face transaction. Complete 180 from the previous pre-owned Omega experience you shared.

[@PeterKotsa]

Absolutely 180 degrees I had hands on with that Seamaster for 5 minutes but the deal went south because it was a replica This time I had my concerns, but luckily all worked out 👍 Cheers Michael

[@khronokraze]

Great technical re-buy or buy back. I have no issues with rotor wobble. I can enjoy a watch with our without it just fine. And, if a watch has a display back, I enjoy watching that seemingly endless spin. It's quite an entertaining dynamic spectacle as bidirectional rotors tend to be stiff and static once fully wound... Which is fine too. Just saying it's yet a different allergy to equally enjoy between the wobblers and wobbleless. The color and details are great on this one. I can appreciate getting an atypical model from a popular watch model line. The road less traveled can often be the more interesting one.

[@PeterKotsa]

Great comment, very well said. I like that road less travelled, its exciting and full of surprises 👍

[@mohammaddanish4258]

Ho bro, just bought the same watch but in black as like the black which is more closer to the iconic watch. Loving it.

[@watchmebuytime8456]

Great purchase. Superb red colour 👌. The texture on the sub dials is a great design touch. Definitely a summer watch on that rubber strap. Thanks for sharing. Not seen this model before.

[@PeterKotsa]

My pleasure 😇

[@VersedNJ]

Love the color, like that it's fairly unique. Glad the deal went well.

[@stevenrobertson6656]

I have a watch with a 7750 movement. I love the rotor wobble 👍

[@FightGenius98]

Absolute beauty. The sinn 556 i m and this wow both incredible pieces you sir are building an exquisite collection. Cheers

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you kindly 🙏

[@weinyeongwong9937]

Good taste!

[@anw9485]

It's beautiful! This is my first time seeing this color way and I love it but I'm a little apprehensive in case I start disliking it over time. I've wanted a Speedy Pro for a long time(or so I thought) but I noticed that I was purchasing other pieces instead of the Speedy. I realized that I didn't love the Speedy Pro, rather I loved it's history and what others had to say about it. In all honesty, in the back of my mind the Speedy Pro was a bit bland and too busy looking for my tastes. I then realized that what I really wanted was a Speedy Racing for it's automatic movement, 40mm case and mostly all the contrast in dial variations. Right now I'm between the black dial, reverse panda and now this beautiful red dial! I mostly prefer bracelets so I think the red dial doesn't look as good on the bracelet. Looks great on the rubber and leather NATO though! Tough choice.

[@KRJoye]

Great choice for Speedmaster timepieces! Thanks Peter for the review!

[@martinpikna7603]

I had a nice trip down in Melbourne long years ago, where we went to wineries in a convertible merc from 80s. This watch would be perfect for this sort of thing. Well done mate. Enjoy it.

[@PeterKotsa]

Beautiful, what was the convertible?..would have been awesome, wind in the hair, sunglasses enjoying the countryside 👍

[@AlexanderB.]

I never got it when people were complaining about rotor wobble, for instance on a watch with a Miyota 9 series movement, its a non issue for me. Congrats for the good purchase and the new gorgeous watch Pete!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Alex, an old friend came back home 😊

[@james241ish]

Yep, I like wobble too. And a bit of noise. Reminds you something is going on in there 😝

[@bogrot69]

It's a gorgeous piece Peter! So nice to see it in red for a change as well. Congratulations!

[@PeterKotsa]

Many thanks! 👍

[@denisdaly1708]

Chrono 24 is great. Have used it.

[@MaleGolfer]

Great vid Peter. That's a real beauty! Would not of thought of a red dial like that, but you've opened my eyes....really like it!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Pete, this one just made sense for me visually Cheers brother

[@jouwenlee7829]

Enjoy listening the features that you like from your perspective. The colour and the date position are really something. Congratulation.

Thanks Pete - stunning colour combo with the strap ! Lot of design finesse here inc the texture on sub dials and strap. Right up there on my Wishlist . Bloody Beautiful! Cheers 👌

Beautiful watch Peter you've bought well. It would look really good on a high quality black sailcloth with red stitching. Enjoy.

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers I’ll have to give it a try on a sailcloth 👍

[@Furniture121]

That is a beautiful watch, and one that doesn't get enough attention compared to the moonwatch.

[@PeterKotsa]

I agree, but to me this one speaks 👍

[@cjsolarmusic]

Snagged the speedy pro earlier this year and decided to sell this watch to help fund a grand seiko since I couldn’t justify owning both but kind of regretting it because it really did wear nicely. Also was my most accurate auto watch gaining less the a second per day. Maybe I’ll get another one in future!

[@kanemillard3315]

That's a lovely bold red.

[@adampan6046]

Congratulations on your new purchase Peter! That’s a stunning watch! My overall experience with Chrono 24 was good, however during international shipping, I did encounter some delays.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks for sharing Adam Cheers

[@johnnybgood7812]

Hidden gem indeed, I love it. My Breitling Old Navitimer has the rotor wobble too. You never forget it’s there that’s for sure!

[@PeterKotsa]

Enjoy it 👍

[@gynechiatrist]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful watch. Love the alternate red. I am with you in that the primary function of a watch revolves around legibility. Without that- it’s close to worthless. I have the Heuer Autavia with the “hidden” date and yes it’s very nice. Just anted up and bought the Globemaster Annual Calendar. And I’m loving it but then, I was born in the 1950s and it feels right at home.

[@PeterKotsa]

Very cool, I have had my eye on the Globemaster as well...good choice 👍👍

[@laughingman8578]

It's beautiful and it's an Omega. You made a good choice!

[@starfighterusscv-6693]

Very nice timepiece and excellent video as always. Thanks, Peter. Congrats on your purchase. I love the Omega in rose gold and tantalum, with NO complications. Oh, anOrdain has some beautiful dials.

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

OOOHHHH THAT COLOUR!!! Amazing. Such a beautiful speedy, I hadn't seen the red variant before and now you've fired up the ol "It will be mine" vibe in my brain. I've been contemplating the Tudor BB Chrono as my next purchase but....on can never tell.

[@PeterKotsa]

Too many choices for us these days..😊

[@craigleslie7615]

Bought one today from Chrono 24 for my sons 21st. Grey dial, rubber strap. wish it was mine. I was not sure about the online purchase but seems there is plenty of protection there. time will tell. Also, no local Omega dealers here for me.

[@mtbkmaniac1]

The 1st thing I thought when I 1st saw the video was " Oh, what did you do? " lol. I love the texture of the sub-dials and the mat red face! Actually, love red faced watches! I own two. A Direnzo DRZ-03 and a Seiko Gundam Tuna! Both were bought for a purpose as well. The Gundam was purchased for my 50th birthday and I had health concerns that I did not ever want to forget! The Direnzo DRZ-03 in Blood moon red dial was for the sacrifices and suffering we endured for the fleu. Direnzo launched another watch BTW! The Direnzo DRZ-05! Direnzo is offering a red dial that is beautiful! Is Red the New Green?

[@PeterKotsa]

Lol I realise red possible has limited usage, but somehow this colour has such nice depth and texture it works beautifully with me 👍👍 Very pleased Cheers

Great review. I'm seriously considering one of these, in particular, the one with the grey/yellow colorway. The red one you have chosen looks fantastic and I'm happy you showcased it here because I can get a much better feel for how it looks, rather than stock pictures. Very helpful point on the servicing benefits of this movement. Definitely a plus. Cheers!
