Straight lugs + lollipop hands, then we would be talking. I don’t know why Omega hates beauty that much.
For years, I hated the lyre lugs and didn't buy a Speedmaster because of them. When they released the FOIS variant with straight lugs, I grabbed one. I then sold it a year later because it felt a bit naff.

However, a few months ago I took a flyer on a 1990 3590.50 Speedmaster, simply because it had a long S and R in the font and I thought it was cool. Now, I really do like the lyres. No joke. Especially compared to the straight ones.
