    Was browsing local small adds and I must have forgotten to turn off my phone when I had finished. Next thing I know I had accidentally bargained the price down on a Speedy Reduced 3510.50, and before I knew it I was meeting the seller in a cafe to collect the watch - nice chap, was totally understanding.

    €1400, serviced in 2017. Box, no papers.

    The last time I told my wife I bought a watch by accident, she ended up with a new car by accident. Now I'm more careful.

    I’d share a similar story, but instead of a Speedy and a nice chap it was good scotch and a Brunette from Scottsdale :whistling:...

    All joking aside, nice snag! Let us know how you like it.

    Pretty good. Most of the things I do by accident don’t leave me with anything of value.

    What a pretty fortunate accident you got into. Very nice watch.

    You should buy a flip case for your phone so that it doesn't activate by mistake in your pocket or you can... you know... not do that, I guess. ::popcorn::

    Funny. I was wearing the reduced today for the first time in years. Although I need to polish the plexi I like it on a nato strap. Enjoy! It's a great watch!

    Great deal and watch. Wear it in good health! Speedy is on my list after another Omega. Love the history.
