I dream about that blue eyed Bond DC at baseline lol. Hoping someday to have one of these "Craig White" Speedies. Thats my favorite naming convention for this one. It just makes it easiest in my head to discern the 15 other white dial speedies. Just my opinion tho

Got mine last week and have to say it's amazing. Great to see it's a regular release and that everybody who wants one can get one with a bit of waiting.

Congrats! Are you state-side? I’ve had my full deposit down at an OB since just after release and still have no definitive ETA. Getting a bit frustrated with the lack of clarity.

The lume on the white dial is a bit underwhelming, so I swapped out to a lumed ceramic bezel and now it looks awesome. The white dial Speedy looks and feels like a truly modern Speedmaster and IMHO it deserves a ceramic bezel to further complete the package.

That lumed bezel looks great on the watch. It's an aftermarket part correct? I remember reading about it in another thread. How hard is it to replace the bezel?

Yes it's made by Spiralwinder, I also have their sapphire caseback on my black Speedy. For the bezel replacement I had a watchmaker to perform the swap and they said a press is needed.

What does ETA mean? You don't mean ETA movements, do you? sorry if I don't have your abbreviations knowledge

I think stock is finally flowing! My 3/8 deposit just turned into a watch as of yesterday. Love this thing.

6.5” wrist. If you’re nerding out to photos and assume my wrist looks larger, it’s because I tried to eliminate the lens distortion by using 3x zoom on the iPhone and holding the lens back. It wears beautifully on my wrist, and simultaneously looks awful in 1x lens iPhone photos.

Happy waiting to the folks still hanging on!

Great! You're doing it right!
