Hand forged cases, a bit of gold and ETA movements, huh? I have triple checked the price, could not believe my eyes...

Some handmade leather straps are currently on sale if anyone interested.

Love from a distance I suppose.

Applying masking tape is a must when changing or adjusting a bracelet. Sadly, I have not followed this advice in the past. In result, a few cases and bracelets scratched.

:popcorn:

Great post, thank you very much for sharing this.
After owning and selling the Speedmaster, I am gravitating towards Heuer.

The Aqua Series from Nomos is pretty interesting.
Club: 100m WR
Ahoi: 200m WR

Another vote for Omega Seamaster Chronograph.

Fortis Aeromaster or Aquatis
Breitling Colt Chronograph

According to bobswatches, 11mm will do the job.

Thought I'm being too picky...

1. Fashion watches;
2. Poor legibility;
3. Disproportion of all kinds; and
4. Mismatching lume colors on the dial, hands or a pip.

Date wheel color match is...

I had a similar experience with the watch, it felt too chunky. I believe that BB proportions are okay-ish for a diver, not for a GMT.
Hoping for a GMT in a fifty-eight case in a few years time...

ROO would be too much for me personally because of relatively thin wrists. However, it's in a different league and, I assume, is a better watch to own.

Missed it again...

Was it really a fake?

If you intend to flip the watch in the future, Speedmaster Professional is the best choice. I sold my FOIS after 4 months of use. Could not live with the saphire glass, poor legibility and mismatched...

Thanks for sharing your story. It is an amazing watch, wear it in good health.

That’s utterly ridiculous. I sent my BBN to replace the crown and no one questioned an aftermarket leather strap that I had it on.
Looks like it’s another odd AD makeup.

That’s a stunning piece, congrats!
Any pictures?

Such a gorgeous piece. Congratulations!

Another vote for Cartier Tank Solo as it's a such a stunning piece.

Here we go again :moon:

Finally, reasonably priced rubber strap. Never was a fan of an oversized buckle, nor a metal loop on a Crafter Blue strap.
Thanks for sharing.

Great watch for daily wear, not as delicate as you might think. Don't worry about helsalite crystal, it can be polished and is cheap to replace if anything.
Speedmaster is an icon for a reason, you...

No discount if buying on finance, you'll have to pay full RRP.
Good looking watch, however, there are so many better options for £2,800.

Wow, some tremendous collections out there.
