I have bought and sold various watches from Rolex to Breitling. All so far have been a great pleasure to seek out watches. As for buying the watch again due to the fact of making a mistake to get rid of it, yes 👍 for sure it’s more of a keeper which will be fought over when passing on in life. So leave a detailed will. 🌹
@davidrosenblum21782 жыл бұрын
I had the opportunity to buy one of these a few years ago. It was the charcoal-colored dial variant with red accents on the bracelet. It was in a store in Narita, Japan, from which I had purchased another watch previously and was immaculate. Had the box and papers and was like new. I remember agonizing over that choice because I thought 40mm was just a bit too small for my wrist. But it did look good and I appreciated its design just like you. In retrospect I should have jumped at the chance to add it to my collection and will remember that hopefully so as not to make the same mistake again. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Can you elaborate on rotor wobble? What is it?
@PaulewingStHelens2 жыл бұрын
@@justplainlawr Wobble is probably the wrong term. Spinning is more what I'm describing. If you jerk the watch in quick wrist action you can hear the rota free spinning. Depending on the watch it can be quite loud especially if you place it on a flat surface which can amplify it. It's not actually winding the watch though. The rota winds one way only and the other way is just free spinning and that's what you can hear.

Blimey glad I'm not the only one splashing out this week. Love the speedy Peter, although I prefer the original black / white colourway. This is the first time I've seen it in red, looks great on that suede strap. Just got my sla 043 today and I'm smitten. Like you I purchased it 2nd hand via eBay, but eBay are now offering a athentuacy guarantee on any watch over 2k.basically the seller sends it to be checked and if it's gen, they then post it to the buyer. To be honest never have had a problem buying 2nd hand goods off eBay, but then I have been doing it for over 17 years. I don't know if you seen any sla 62mas models in the flesh Peter, but the size would be right up your alley. Got it for an amazing price considering it was only purchased in June this year. May need to get a bigger watch box now though, lol.

Great technical re-buy or buy back. I have no issues with rotor wobble. I can enjoy a watch with our without it just fine. And, if a watch has a display back, I enjoy watching that seemingly endless spin. It's quite an entertaining dynamic spectacle as bidirectional rotors tend to be stiff and static once fully wound... Which is fine too. Just saying it's yet a different allergy to equally enjoy between the wobblers and wobbleless. The color and details are great on this one. I can appreciate getting an atypical model from a popular watch model line. The road less traveled can often be the more interesting one.

It's beautiful! This is my first time seeing this color way and I love it but I'm a little apprehensive in case I start disliking it over time. I've wanted a Speedy Pro for a long time(or so I thought) but I noticed that I was purchasing other pieces instead of the Speedy. I realized that I didn't love the Speedy Pro, rather I loved it's history and what others had to say about it. In all honesty, in the back of my mind the Speedy Pro was a bit bland and too busy looking for my tastes. I then realized that what I really wanted was a Speedy Racing for it's automatic movement, 40mm case and mostly all the contrast in dial variations. Right now I'm between the black dial, reverse panda and now this beautiful red dial! I mostly prefer bracelets so I think the red dial doesn't look as good on the bracelet. Looks great on the rubber and leather NATO though! Tough choice.
