It was made in 1994, for the 100 year jubilee of Universal Geneve.

The movement is a Lemania as used in the Speedmaster pro with a nicer finish.

It was a limited and numbered, there have been...

Nice that they overengineered the watch, but too bad that it is such an ugly piece of work...
I would never wear it because of the oversize and the looks.

Knowing Robert Jan (Fratello), I cannot think of a mistake.

However, mr. Sinn has had a full and productive life, which I hope he has enjoyed. I wish his family strenght to cope with their loss.

Usually I don't drink during the week, just a bit in the weekends, mostly wine with good food, sometimes a glass of beer after working in the garden.

The amount of booze I drink is rather small...

My father in law and I are both barristers, we work together.
Actually, for us it works well.

Due to the family ties, we can be way more direct, which is good for the quality of the work, we...

Just let this rest, don't start it all over again...

And finally some decent pictures.

Not really one, probably both my 105.003 Speedmaster from 1965 and my 18k pink gold IWC cal. '89 from 1957 are my favourites.

;-)

No problem, I figured it out!

Thanks!

To avoid misunderstandings:
A chronometer is a watch which is adjusted to keep time within specific criteria, tested by the COSC.
Basically, chronometer-specs are -4 / +6 sec. / day.

I bought this watch from a friend some time ago and got to wear it for one week before I had to give it to my watchmaker for a full service and to have the chronograph-parts adjusted.

Last week I...

Thanks! I have some friends in the states and have to make some plans for our honeymoon ;-)
Perhaps things can be combined!

Great story! I'm glad the operation went well and hope your dad can enjoy the speedmaster for many years to come.

I had a 6105-8010 on one of Eddies very soft rubber straps.
I traded it against a Zenith 133.8 Chronometre that needed a service and a new crystal.

Still, sometimes I am sorry about letting it go.

Then someone has had a very good deal! You've bought at a good price.

My watchmaker experienced the same in the past and I've been told by him not to think, but to count, count, count if there is something strange going on with the frequency / regulation of a watch.

Several remarks have mentioned a 36.6 k frequency.
That is incorrect.

A fast beating watch like this has 10 "ticks" per second, that is 60 x 10= 600 beats per minute.
600 x 60 = 36.000 bph., not...

That was a few years ago...

These days the used Speedmasters Pro in decent running order will set you back approx. 1.500 Euro.
That is, unless the seller doesn't know the prices.

I agree with Carlton-Browne: mad as a hatter. ;-)

Under Dutch law trading goods for goods isn't subject to duty, however, if you import something from outside the EU, you would have to pay import duty.
On the other hand: you could try to get the...

A friend of my family has one, it is a vintage model and looks very nice.
The newer ones don't appeal to me.

Unless you are heavily overweight and / or have the size and muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger, you can wearing anything from 35-42 mm.
It won't be too small. Remember, the Rolexes in the days of our...

Looking at the pictures, I would say that is the case.
I've seen this one a Rolex once (watchmaker bent the unfolded link back into shape).

The other big risk is the pair of pushpins used.
I've...

Pro: 42 mm
Pre pro (105.003 / 002, 2998, 2915): 39,7 mm
Reduced: 39 mm

The "ladies" Speedmaster is the reduced, pimped with pink dials, bling and that kind of rubbish...

Actually, the...

Same here!
Try a pre pro (39,7 mm!), they are the best of both worlds!
