Well, I made a purchase today, but I won't bother posting a picture because it is not a watch. I bought a new bow for my violin. It has 14-karat rose gold fitments. Cost as much as a decent watch, and 2 1/2 times what I paid for the violin! Oh! But what a difference!

1039 + 2(516) + Made 3 of '69 = perfect for a transitional

My favorite 👍 ... I may or may not have bought entire Speedmasters simply because they included a full-length 1039....😗

Funny you say that.....

........this may or may not have been that "type" of purchase.

I snagged a Speedmaster a few weeks ago on that basis. Paid what seemed a high-ish price for a 145.022-69 w/ extract, but figured I could at least sell the Speedmaster on if need be....

... until, after paying, I took another look at the seller's photos and realized I missed an important detail! So now I'm stuck with it / it might be my favorite watch:

Arrived this morning and it's bloody lovely in the metal.

Have some links on order from the local Boutique... And then I can start enjoying it properly!

First impression is that it's very different from my moonwatch... Equally lovely, but in a different way.

He had no pics of the movement.

I'm not sure how he determined that its a cal 290...

...beat rate, maybe? 18,000 bph vs. 19,800 bph...

Just happen to run across this one, paid for it today and hope to get it next week.

About 2 years ago I found a Gemini4 without a box, but it had the original purchase receipt.

Back from a great trip to Europe for me and the new fiancée and a few sweet purchases. First took a bit of the watch budget but happened to leave enough for a little black number for me. (Sellers pic as will take a bit to get here)

Happy to see we have one guy with his priorities right 😉

What better way to celebrate speedytuesday then to receive my new 145.012 today! Some unknown force must have delayed the package arrival till today for kicks.

Love that dial!

OK, not a watch, but this big, beautiful chunk of polished Labradorite from Madagascar.
