60th Anniversary '57 Speedmaster

Finally! Picked mine up last night. Haven't taken it off since. The wait was slow and painful but I'm happy now...

So how many of you folks are still waiting for your delivery, and has anybody managed to secure one recently? Sounds like still quite a few waiting which is crazy. I agree this could have been handled way better. For info, I actually got mine from an AD who wasn't even expecting to get a single watch. I was on a reserve list at their sister shop and got the call. This was one of the first deliveries in the UK which doesn't make sense.

I am also on another AD list, so still have a chance of another but they have no clue when the watches are arriving.

I think I already know the answer to this question - but I already received my LE Speedy. However, I still have my name down on an AD’s list where I live (put my name down at two places initially). I was going to take my name off the list since I already got mine, but the AD told me that he has no waiting list behind me, so I haven’t taken my name off yet. I was thinking that if I thought the Speedy’s price will appreciate then I wear the one I already have comfortably, and have a backup (either to keep or to sell later), but I honestly don’t think that the prices will go up, given the number of pieces, as well as anticipated future LEs.

So, I think I will take my name off the list (if anyone is still interested in getting their name on the list, let me know!) - but does anyone have a different opinion?

I had the opportunity to take an extended weekend trip down to NYC for the Worn & Wound's Wind-Up Watch Fair. There were a lot of the micro brands you rarely or never get to see in the flesh.

Once I put it on the wrist, there was an immediate sense of relief. I've never ordered a watch without seeing it in the flesh. So, I've a strong mixture of excitement and anxiety about this one. The dial is stunning even with the plastic still on. Hopefully, I will receive mine before the end of the year!
