    I would really like to pick up this great looking book. My passion is the Transitionals from 1968/69. I don't know how much additional light can be shed on these pieces but would love some printed information and nice photographs.

    Don't give anything away but is there a section on this period?

    There are sections on every speedmaster made up until the book went to press.

    I received the book yesterday and it felt like x-mas and birthday in one! It's a really the best thing that has ever been published about the speed master and it helps to understand what are modern myths and what is secure knowledge. Thanx to the writers who did a phantastic job. regards, Thomas

    Mine arrived today. After a fast scan through it (which took more than two hours!), I think it will answer everything I need to know concerning Moonwatches. Big thanks to the authors. :thumbsup:

    Fabrice emailed me on the 30th to confirm my copy was ready to be sent...

    I had been putting off buying a vintage speedy in anticipation of getting this book (too many sharks in the waters of the bay if you ask me) so I can't wait for both the book - and the inevitable consequences to my bank balance from seeing so many beautiful versions of this most iconic watch!!! ;)
