Haven't got a clue, but can't wait to see what it is!! Thanks for the little hint! This one is so unique in the Speedy line up, I just couldn’t think of any hints I could drop that wouldn’t have been obvious.

Wow! Baco Noir A huge congratulations to you on this piece. That's such a touching story and it certainly has a much deeper meaning / value from a sentimental perspective. The detail on that piece is extraordinary and exemplifies why Omega is among my favourite watch brands. Having an exhibition sapphire case back is the icing on the cake, of course the skeleton Dial further showcases the lovely inner workings of this timepiece. With each glance at the wrist you'll be remembering your father even more vividly. You deserve this watch and I'm so grateful you were able to get one brand new. Enjoy in good health!

rw16610 - thank you my friend. I hope to live up to my dad’s legacy. He had high expectations of others and as he aged, put up with less BS from others, and I do see myself doing the same already. He also told me many years ago that he thought of all his boys, I understood the work/life balance the best. I seem to be missing that these days, but I am closing in on retirement, so the pendulum will swing back in favor of “life” soon!

Baco Noir I certainly see now why this watch means so much to you! And, apart from that, is an amazing model. I know this will mean a lot to you over the years, as you think of your dad every time you glance at your wrist!
