    I was recently able to purchase a Speed Tuesday 1 as funds allowed it and I was able to get it at a great price considering it's mint condition. I hope my son(s) can come to appreciate watches considering this is one that will not be leaving the collection for any reason. If somehow it comes down to only keeping one, this will be it. I have let it be almost 4 months to think about it and to keep looking at other watches and brands. I always came back to my bookmark file of articles and YouTube reviews of this watch. I sourced one here in the states late last week and negotiated a fair price including shipping and she was delivered today.

    The sun is already down here so inside photos will have to suffice until future sun shots. I just couldn't wait to share with people who can possibly share my excitement. This watch needs no introduction so here are my pictures from today :D She is a stunner!:

    This watch is absolutely beautiful in person. I have seen all the photos and videos you could imagine and what it looks like in person far exceeds what my expectations were leading up to today.

    I can't wait to wear it tomorrow for my first official #SpeedyTuesday participation.
