I love Speedmasters.
First I thought that it would be impossible to get one from the official AD anymore.
Then I just decided to ask.
I will get the last one, which someone cancelled.
Now waiting for the package...

Oh dear... I love this piece. This purchase was unplanned. I thought that I’ll pass this especially because of the full gold version.
Now that I got the chance to get one, I needed to act quickly. Luckily I did.
One of the most impressive unboxings that I’ve experienced! The case with the lunar module, all the details—wooooow!!!
The bracelet is so comfortable, the nature of the Speedy changes easily according to lightning...
So easy to read the time because of the gold hands&markers.
I love the vintage feeling. I have to ask myself:
Is this the best limited edition Speedy I’ve owned?
Might be. I’ll let you know after the honeymoon ends.

Interesting.

So you just happen to ask the AD for an A11 and they managed or happened to get one Unallocated. That’s surprising, thought these has all be pre allocated.

congrats!

Thanks!
I am a longterm good customer of my AD. Last year they said that every piece was sold out. Last week I heard from another AD that he managed to get one, that in Europe there has been couple of pieces available again. Then I asked my AD and I happened to ask just the right time! ::rimshot::
Even some few full gold pieces I’ve heard that one could get from AD. This COVID has ruined many plans, I think.

Congrats to the OP on a nice pickup! I had a similar situation where I just asked for one almost a year after the watch was released, and was able to get one in a short amount of time.

That’s a pretty nice strap and I might have to think about trying one of those. I have mine on a ST1 strap at the moment which is very comfortable to wear.

You won't regret it if you do go for it, it will show the beauty of the dial even more IMHO.

The grey alcantara strap is one of the better ones for the A11.

Just visited the website and wow. That guys stuff is incredible. I don’t think that’s very good for the wallet ... I’m already thinking of getting other straps for my other watches!
