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? (A couple of you already know what it is; don't ruin the surprise! ) Hint: It's a Speedmaster. That should narrow it down.
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.
