Funnily enough, I saw an advert in one of this Sundays supplements for the 50th anniversary Sppedmaster. Given that I turned 50 this year - my wife said if I wanted to get it then she wouldn't object . Not believing my luck, I dashed to the computer to see what it looked like ...and where available.
Sorry I don't have an image to hand...but they have put a logo of some kind on the dial...a seahorse?? and it spoils the clean lines for me. Does anyone have a pic?
