路Many of us have sold our speed masters, it does not make us lesser humans nor does it make the watch a lesser icon.
The mods will just add a tag to your avatar so everyone knows not to read your posts moving forward, but that鈥檚 only for about 6 months
So he announced the sale 2 hours ago and his avatar is not tagged yet. The mods must have missed your post 馃槣

路But what was the problem with his car?
Oh yes, we got back around to that and a restarted the clock on the subject.
Apparently number of things were wrong.
Firstly, it's a BMW.
Secondly, the free servicing period has elapsed so he has to start shoving his hand down deep into his pocket.
Thirdly, the wiper blades need to be changed and the regional dealer has allegedly had them on order for in excess of a month with absolutely no word of a date when they will come in. As he's understandably shy of going non-genuine with the wiper blades that are widely available, he's holding out for the dealer to supply.
There was quite a lot of discussion around that at the table among the lads.
Fourthly, he has some trouble sourcing tyres for it in his part of the world.
Lastly, I said he should've bought a nice example of his dream Bimmer if he wanted to have one in retirement which I think is one of those early 80's 635CSL's
But as I pointed out some of his problem is with a bit of planning.
And the fact he probably should've bought something else when he retired.
PLUS he probably should never have sold his Speedy馃檨

路Think the speedmaster reduced automatic. Mite be a try. You and me about the same age dam your first watch had to be a cheap wind-up like I got as a kid think mine was a Timex so winding don鈥檛 bother me since I did it in my younger days. Sounds like you don鈥檛 like any thing about the speedmaster. So just sell it and forget you ever owned one.

路Totally agree with you reason #2. That鈥檚 why I never got into chronograph watches. Kinda counterproductive.
