Hi all,
I bought this beauty from a fellow member few days ago, but I didn´t have time until today to share some pictures.
I´m really excited with my first vintage speedy, and now I´m sure it won´t be my last one; I got the bug...

 

Wow. That's NICE

Congrats!!!

 

From Kingkrily (sic) ?

 

Congrats! That's a gorgeous bezel. Let me know if you want to "modernize" it!
Hope you find the bracelet to be comfortable. It looks great on the strap too, but there's just something about the complete vintage package.

 

This beauty should be no surprise if it came from Kringkily ;-)

 

Congratulations ! Can you share a picture from the front with the lugs please ?

 

Don't go looking for facets on a Huguenin Freres case...they're not there!
Otherwise, yeah! The more pics the better!

 

Congrats on a great find! Fantastic watch and that leather strap is cool. Oh, and DIBS!

 

Congrats!

Great move for your first...well played.

 

Truly a great find Ivan!! That lume is like factory!!

 

yup...this isn't a case made by CB

 

Congrats, Ivan on a pristine sample!! Finally!! Good thing comes to those who wait Very excited for you! Well done!

 

Excellent, great catch.

 

Yes, indeed it's a HF. Last night, i was looking at the photos from my phone and i was a bit confused about the top.
Fantastic piece. That dial is a killer.

 

It's a beautiful photo of the watch with the sea in the background!

I'm so glad for you!

 

I feel it really comfortable on the bracelet, and I like it much better on it. But to be honest first thing I did was removing it, then after few days I tried it again and now I´m debating wich one to use.

 

Thanks all for your input, and specially to Martin to make it possible

 

Is anybody able to post a pic of a closeup of the lugs on a HF case compared to ummmm, the other one (damn memory ).

I still can't understand "facets"

And Tritium, that's an awesome Speedie, the movement is mind-boggling in condition and complexity.

It's almost like a puzzle, just looking at a part, following the train, and guessing what it does.

Simply beautiful!

 

Thanks Jim
I´ll probably fit a see through case back to admire the beautiful movement.

It also took me some time to understand facets.
Take a look at this picture with Mike´s CB example with facets on the left and my HF without on the right.

 

That´s a very educational comparison!
