If you’re not locked-in to buying from an AD, as an alternative I suggest checking out canwatchco.ca - a Canadian-based watch collectors forum.
Lots of sellers of lightly used Speedy’s pop up regularly on the forum and prices seem to be hovering in the $4K range for a nice example.
Bobby runs the website - his handle is: canwatchco and he is excellent to deal with. He regularly has access to a variety of NIB watches, including Speedy’s.
FYI - you need to register a user ID before you can view anything on the sales forums.
Also, now that the Canadian dollar is performing better vs the USD, consider buying from one of the trusted dealers on OF (ask around for guidance as to who the really good guys are):

Even with duties/taxes/exchange it can work out in your favour.
Great choice in terms of the model you’re looking at! Best of luck.
