    ..when your done with that, go take a look at a real Peruvian Speedy..that will never make it to your home, no matter how much you pay for it. It's there in the bay :)

    The dial printing quality on this one is particularly bad - look at how the 20 and 40 are cut off in the running seconds subdial!

    I think we should start keeping track of the serial numbers on these too, since they all seem to be 27x - I wonder if he's engraving them himself or just has a supply of ~1968-69 861s.

    This one is 27773342 it looks like.

    It's actually worth criminal prosecution to sell something like that labelled Vintage Speedmaster.

    I flagged it, not that it will do any good.

    I'm guessing he gets the movements from POS Mark II's. I've seen a lot more of those in the 27M--28M range on eBay than Speedy Pro's.

    Figured it was something like this, never paid a whole lot of attention to the Mark II

    Too late, it's gone and I missed it. Thankfully.

    Marty must have been asleep for a moment or two?

    @kingsrider, are you falling down on your job are have you just seen too much?

    ;)
