By way of fellow member Kringkily I was able acquire a grail of mine, the Speedmaster Gemini IV 40'th Anniversary. Justified as an engagement present to myself, I couldn't be happier with it or the buying experience😀 . Replacement bezel is also on the way via Al/archer. The photo's are Kringkily's.

It joins my small collection of unorthodox Speedmasters.

That Gemini is beautiful. Everytime I see one I put it on 'my list' then a few minutes later I remember what a disaster I am with manual wind watches...

The standard Speedmaster is not so bad, the moonphase on the other hand... is a pain to set correctly, when it is not in constant use.

You convinced me that different is better. Blue dials rock.

Couldn't agree more. Do you still have the AT skyfall? Now that is easily one of my favorite dials.

Absolutely. Don't foresee it going anywhere in the near future. Or the distant future for that matter. Wore it a LOT the first 3 months. The summer heat makes my wrist swell and the bracelet it too tight. Working on getting a nice strap for it.

I was wondering why it was not making any rounds recently in the WRUW thread. It really is a shame the hidden clasps lack the micro adjustments🙁. I had the same problem with my AT until I picked up a deployment strap and clasp.

The Gemini IV is still my favourite LE, I passed up on a chance to buy one for $4000 USD BNIB at an AD a few years ago and I've regretted it since

Mate I'm rebuilding the watch fund after camera equipment and a new Retina Macbook Pro, and I have some other items on the list but at some point in the future I'll let you know 😀
