The watch is new and available for £5K or maybe a little less, my worry was that I'm not totally sold on the smaller size and lack of taper on the bracelet and wanted to be sure that I would be able to move it on without too much of a loss.
I have one. On the wrist it feels little different to the Pro. The dial and bezel are the same size, the straight lugs just lack the pusher guards. Well the all metal bezel is fractionally smaller but that’s it. Don’t let the apparent smaller size put you off, try one.

3557 pieces (excluding box sets) ... that’s half the production of the Buzz Butt edition ... and arguably a more significant (chicken/egg sans paradox) and beautiful watch . Regardless, I really don’t care about market value on this piece, it’s one of those emotional investments (because I totally love it) and so far the returns have been great.

Here is a shot from a wrist-cheese-cultivation activity...some guy is gonna ‘blow a bollock’ one day when I ‘pop my clogs’ and this thing is found stashed somewhere in a drawer...cheese and all.

Thanks for taking the time to post. I've thought about this watch today and have came to the conclusion that it's not for me.

Going forward it could well be a shoot out between two very different Speedmasters, the new 50th Anniversary and the titanium co-axial blue dial version.

We like what we like 👍 Most important.

Am I learning from the Brits or what?! 😀
Awesome idiomatic and colloquial English. You are certainly channelling Jonathan pretty well!
