    I love that it hasn't got a day indicator. I've just bought a Seiko 5 from the same era and it would have been so much better without that window... Or both day and date.

    I agree with you about the day indicator, and the date indicator for that matter.
    I also bought this Lord Marvel recently and the lack of both is one of its strong points IMHO.
    (Photos are from the seller as the watch is out for service right now.)

    They stamp your hand when you pay your entry, and it takes about a week for it to fade completely ;-)

    I may have gone to the dark side. Just ordered one of these as a holiday beater. Then again, what else could offer so much for so little :D

    There are 2 locations in the UK - to be fair, most of the stuff is either overpriced or is pure "toot".

    But there are some diamonds in the rough...

    I didn’t want to do it, cause I’ve already picked up too many Speedmasters in too short a time. But, Speedymoons are pretty rare to come by and I have a known moonphase Speedmaster fetish.::screwloose::

    So, I forced myself. :cautious:

    This technically arrived in January but ended up going for a long holiday to my watchmaker. On the wrist for the first time today.
