    Observed timekeeping: -33 s/d?

    Does that mean it's losing 33 seconds per day? That's not good if I've got that right, is it?

    Obviously in need of a service with -33 s/d. The watch looks really busy with all those complications and it's going to cost $$$$ to have a watchmaker touch it.

    I think this one is the calibre 1151, based on the Valjoux 7750 with some extra's as there is a triple date. It's a pretty common movement.

    Curious to know why you request opinions on a watch,…… and then barely wait for responses, before committing to the purchase 3 hours later ? ::facepalm2::

    Was this post just to intended to validate, an already made decision ?

    You may be interested to know that you have bought the watch from one of our active Forum Members - @WatchVaultNYC

    Remember to post images, and your impressions, when you get the watch

    Icono, yes that is correct. This is just to validate the purchase I have made. Apologies for not being clear.
    I will definitely post pics and impressions here when I receive the watch....

    "Observed timekeeping: -33s/d"

    I guess this one didn't pass the tests to get sold on Amazon...that is exceptionally poor timekeeping for a 7750 based watch.

    By the time you pay for servicing this Speedy you will have overpaid. But that's not the end of the world. If you truly love the watch and wear it, paying $300-$500 over fair value is not a problem. As long as you're not planning to flip the watch for a profit, it's all good.
