    It's been in the works for a couple weeks now, but I think I can finally expect a very, very special incoming...an extremely rare, "holy grail" level piece...

    Copious photos will be forthcoming. It should be here by Tuesday, I think.

    Anyone want to take a guess? :p (A couple of you already know what it is; don't ruin the surprise! :))

    Hint: It's a Speedmaster. That should narrow it down. :p

    No meteorite, got the Soyuz this year already and it's enough meteorite for me! I'll give another hint though -- it's not a Pro.

    It's neither the Mitsukoshi nor the 3570.40.00. Not a Professional, remember? ;)

    It's also older and lower production than either of those models.

    I like playing along. Summary of what we know so far:
    - grail-esqe, extremely rare
    - Speedmaster, non Professional
    - dial is not black, not white, not grey

    My first thought goes to vintage pre-pro with chocolate dial..

    My second thought goes to blue dial... Didn't we see a blue dial vintage recently?

    Third, you like modern pieces....

    Let me do some research from my desk when I get home, this is from my cell while at lunch.

    Edit: missed that its Japanese LE.
