Well I pulled the trigger on a new Speedmaster (3861 Hesalite) this afternoon. Hoping it will arrive Friday morning.
Several posts here on the forum convinced me that I couldn't live without it, so here we go. I'll post pictures once it arrives.
Y'all stay safe!

I'm going to the one in Roseville, CA. Hope someone can provide a feedback here. I spoke with the manager, he said that he will have a "technician" size it for me, not a "representative" *sales*. I have the tools and able to do it myself but OCD galore here lol. I resized my new SMP and feel like I scratched the screw or two. I didn't even want to look for it, the damage that is. I just plan to leave it as is 😀

@Texans93 I remember when I bought mine from a member here I bought on Friday night. Banks don't do wire transfers on Sat. So I had to wait till Mon to get him the money and it arrived on Weds. It was hard to wait! But I've worn it every day since, and it's been almost 2 years. I love my watch and I am sure you will too. The new ones have lots of special touches.

Yes, anxiously anticipating the UPS truck tomorrow morning. Hope to have it sized and on wrist for the weekend.

I have a ‘71 and a ‘96 and each brings a smile to my face every time that I wear one.

You’ll love it. I recently got one when it was on sale. I’m loving it. The bracelet is also pretty amazing.

Congratulations on acquiring [IMHO] the most consequential wrist watch ever made!

The folks at the Boutique in Chicago were exceptionally nice when I went there the next day to get it sized. I'm sure it will be a great experience for you as well.

Nothing like a new Speedmaster in all it's day 1 glory! Congratulations and may you wear it in the best of health!!
Enjoy it. Wear it. Don't mind the scratches that will give it character (you will be the only one to know they are there). Buy a tube of Polywatch (looks to be Hesalite).

Is there a reason you couldn't have it sized by the seller?

Igor is the Tech at the Roseville OB, and I can vouch from personal experience; he's the real deal.

Likewise! Great chatting with you as well!

I still don’t have a clue why they were closed on a regular business day, but glad you found a place for the bracelet sizing.

Igor regularly wears his Alaska Project, and it makes me sad realizing just how much I want one now, thanks to him!
