    I got the call that my ck2998 is in. Not 100% convinced I want it though. I am sure the value will go up after all pieces are accounted for - but I am not in the business of flipping watches. I will either pass on it or pick it up if I think I'll enjoy it.

    Thoughts??

    Thoughts?

    Sure. Buy it and enjoy it.

    Unless you don't want it. In which case don't buy it.

    What sort of opinions are you hoping to hear? Only you can judge whether or not you like it. There are dozens and dozens of opinions already expressed in other open threads about this watch, and they include people who purchased and then decided they did not like the watch enough to keep it, people who decided to pass entirely, and people who went ahead with the purchase even though they didn't think they really liked it, but soon changed their minds and decided they really did like it after all.

    well since you asked, we have seen a few members around here in total love with the watch but also a couple of regret feelings about the same watch. The bottom line is, you are the one who must convince yourself if the watch is right for you!

    all you can do is get into the AD and strap it onto your wrist.

    At that time you'll know if you want to carry it out of the building or leave it there.

    I love mine.

    But I will say that those that have sold on the secondary market have sold at or near retail. As far as I can tell there have been 3 or 4 sales. I do not think these will increase in price, as they made too many in my opinion. And I think once all are delivered we might expect to see the prices settle even lower than the current sale prices we see now. Too many people thought this was the next snoopy.

    If you don't like it once you try it on, then just don't buy it. There are a lot on the market right now. They appear to sell at retail or so, but there are a lot on the market.. 18 or so across forums and chrono24.and ebay.

    I think a lot of people jumped in expecting the snoopy craze to hit again now they don't see the frenzy. You aren't the only one mate.

    It's amazin how well conceived the standard Speedy Pro was. From a legibility standpoint, the standard Speedy Pro is amazing for a chronograph. It's almost like looking at a 3hander.

    PS... I love your Speedy collection.

    I tried one on today at the boutique that was already spoken for...and promptly asked them to order me one! I think it's amazing. The shade of blue against the silver dial is outstanding imho. It's the watch the new Daytona wishes it could be!

    It is very simple. Go and try it on. If it sings to you then buy it. If it doesn't walk away. Values going up or down should not really come into it considering you don't flip watches.
