I was looking through the box, looking for a way to fund Mrs Fruit's bloody Aga. (She is most upset they will not make a special colour for her...apparently she is going to press further up the chain....)

So I was going to sell this but I just cannot bring myself to let go of it. Still I did all the photos and it seems a shame to waste them. So here for your viewing pleaseure is a 2998-1 BASE1000 Lollipop

NFS



Ahh - the ghost BASE1000 Bezel!



Case looks used but not overpolished.


Pushers are service replacement, correct.

Hands are curved end lume slots.

Lets go around the case:



Serial is in range of my observations for a 2998-1 but the Museum would not extract it, perhaps because my middle name is not "Christies"

Anyway wanted to put a little more watch content back into the forum, I keep getting dragged off by slightly political threads and its not why I come here.

Enjoy the watch!

 

NFS? Surely you mean NSFW?

 

Another great one from the doubles box! Well indeed it's a lot more interesting than an Aga thread William, GLWNS!

 

But William, I hear you can make really nice tropical dials with the AGa

This speedy is just amazing, thank you for sharing this hunk of happiness.

 

@Spacefruit - A decade ago, my studios used to execute all the photography for AGA..... we built some incredibly complex sets to house them

They are ridiculously over priced for what they are……can be difficult to regulate, and can be overpoweringly hot in the Summer

Other 'cast iron' cookers are available……

 

I shall be forwarding your details to Mrs Fruit,,,

 

Life's a matter of making choices and assuming the consequences

A sweet lollipop you have here

 

Stunning watch -keep it and get rid of the wife

 

Happy to sneak this out of the house, whilst the good lady is away for the week.
If NFS ever moves to WTT. She's back at the weekend though......
My plan is to explain its just away for a lenghty service or something along those lines

 

Impeccable taste that Mrs Fruit! Just boiling an egg for my daughter right now, I love Agas.

 

Stunning!

It's all too easy to forget that this is a watch collecting forum at the minute.

 

......but worth it for the AGA toast, rice pudding and roast potatoes alone.
Ours is switched off at the moment, the whole house is 3 degrees cooler.
......so much for the Watch thread.

 

Holy Moly,....love it! Thanks for sharing and showing!

 

You're making the right decision William! Work harder, sell no sspeedmasters!

 

keep her ! vin

 

No this is a huge mistake! Sell!! SELL!!!!!

 

What, pray tell, is an AGA? For you to seriously consider selling this, it had better be an Anti Gravity Actuator.
