It kinda looks like a rolex daytona.

I just googled this watch, your right, it looks like the Daytona, but without the almighty crown, replaced with the horseshoe.

I'm wearing it today.. and its quite a bit lighter than the Breitlings that I'm used to, but still doesn't feel too heavy. I find myself trying to remove the non-existant flip-lock on the bracelet when i take it off lol.. i'm so used to the Breitling Bracelets.

One thing about Omegas in general that I find a bit weird... mostly with their Planet Ocean and Speed masters, not so much the regular seamasters... is that they have a very long lug-to-lug length and the watches look very long on the wrist, rather than being wide. I suppose its a way of making the watch wear bigger without it being too wide. I am not sure if i like that look, but i do like this Speedmaster. Wonder how long I will keep it.

I need to make an omega emoticon :D

Sweet, Iceman! I've been told that the one I got is pretty much identical to the Broad Arrows except for the dial/hands and the movement in the Broad Arrow has a higher level of decoration to it but is really the same movement.

I got my Omega Schumacher today, and I quite like it. I believe it'll be nice in my other collections - especially with the red dial.

And here's an older Speedmaster I have, since earlier...
