Reply With QuoteCracking watch with either if I'm honest.
Suits both.
My Speedmaster had a service replacement insert fitted, i wanted a period correct one so I looked at a few options.
The one thing I didn’t like with my service one was the fact it looked too shiny and new on a 53 year old watch.
Buying a mint DON didn’t interest me and I love the battle scars and chips on this one that arrived yesterday.
I think it’s in keeping with the rest of the watch.

Fantastic watch and agree the bezel change looks very appropriate
A fitting insert.
Makes the reissue pale in comparison. (Imo)
Thanks for the nice comments, I really am pleased with it.
I’m sure it’s not everyone’s taste but I actually prefer the worn and enjoyed look.
One is beautiful, the other is interesting. I prefer the interesting (older) one.
Looks much better imo.
Lovely watch with either :)
Much better with the aged bezel. I prefer a uniform look.
