Al, while I fully agree with you about “working bugs out on any new model”, which I learned the hard way when I got my e92M3 in 2008 instead of waiting for a year or so, overall I still feel that this one is a disappointment for a watch of the “caliber” (pun intended!) of the Speedy Pro!
Not only do they not upgrade this movement often (so they really had the time to work on their final protos, or should have taken more time) but given the whole aura surrounding the origins of how this watch came to be selected by NASA, etc etc... In my opinion, there is much less room for something like this to happen. And mind you, it is not like we are discovering this after two or three years after launch... but within the first 12 months, and for some owners, within the first week of ownership!!
And how should the early adopters feel now! Waiting for a band aid fix with added lubrication, or for their watch to be retrofitted with the new bushing?
Overall, quite disappointing IMO.
