Recently received a very nice example of a (dare I say it) unpolished gold 69 speedy and wanted to share some photos and observations. As far as I can tell it has gone unused and still has sticker residue on the caseback. Mint box and original price tag! Sadly these bracelets are too big for my wrist, but that means the bracelet will stay in great shape as I'll never use it. What did stand out to me are the sharp facets underneath the lugs that I tried to photograph, which are probably a good way to determine if an example has been polished or not.
That is correct, and thank you. I've been waiting a long time to find one of these in the condition I wanted.
Oh it will, if anything i wear my nice watches too much. Here is a speedy perpetual calendar hiking up Mount Etna
That's beautiful. I would have said wear it with the bracelet until I saw the photo. It's mint. Nice choice of strap.
That watch is in terrible condition, send it to me immediately and I will have it melted down for you In all seriousness that is one fine looking watch you have there and in remarkable condition, great catch and hope you enjoy wearing it
