Nice catch!
I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of the case back, ideally in front of a refrigerator or toaster. :D

Sorry I missed this Lavaine, away on business.

Nice, a real classic. I looked at these a few years ago when they brought out a special for the anniversary of the moon landings I think, but never went through with it. Everytime I hear of someone getting one, I start to think about then all over again. A speedy is also the sort of watch that you might have if you could only have one, very versatile. :thumbup:

Cheers,
Jack.

Very nice. My buddy has a vintage speedmaster that looks lovely on his wrist. Unfortunately, I'm just too scrawny to be able to pull it off.

Just for you, Sir Knight. If I took the picture in front of the fridge, you'd see just how much junk is stuck to the fridge door, so I took a couple of shots inside the fridge, where the Speedmaster made some new friends:

The case back. Also what SWMBO might do if I buy another expensive watch too soon:
