So instead of a 'transitional', I went in for a pre-moon, pre-pro, pre-tritium (thanks adam78!), pre-transitional transitional. Here is my new 105.002. I gotta say.... wow. Having seen so many online, it's a little unreal to have one on the wrist. And now, I'm done for a good long while. Of course, speedmaster101 has a good write up.. http://speedmaster101.com/105-002/ and it's got a couple of pages in MWO. Some more pics..
Good looking example. I too have been looking for a transitional, for a supplier of mine to give to her husband (in another buisiness) and I cannot find one that I like. I thought, here's a good way to ingratiate myself, how hard can it be? 6 months now....
So what's the story? Did you trade something for it? And yeah, your good long while will be over soon once...
The watch was listed recently here on a WTT, but I don't have much worth trading for it, especially not a 2998. Worked out a $deal$. It took a long voyage, but arrived quickly! Extract ordered, first time for me... just to see what it's like. Feedback welcome. . Edit, @TNTwatch, it HAS to be over for a while at least. Ouch!
I would be curious to see some sharp straight lug pics, close up on the lugs. I have a good sense of what the twisted lugs look like, but not as clear on how sharp is sharp on a straight lug.
It is actually a tritium dial incidentally, as there are no radium 105.002s, the lack of Ts doesn't necessarily mean the presence of radium
This should be a good reference for someone who looking for this range of speedy , thanks for sharing ? Do you have pictures more inside?
Gosh, Darn, Golly, Gorgeous! The only thing I can say that would be 'transitional' about this one, is it induces a 'transition' into Nirvana! I still have a hard time believing the seller gave this one up! Congrats, my friend...
Well done! I think I should start looking for a nice transitional, and hopefully end up buying an excellent 002 like yours... Congrats and enjoy it
