I write it in small font because I know in advance that it will never happen 😉
Its more like a compliment on a stunning piece - I would also have bought it in a whim although I am not a hard core Speedy collector.
Well done Matt - I wish you many years of delight when wearing this beauty! You will wear it, won´t you? I hope it will not suffer in a dark vault as a safe queen.
If I were you I would relume the hands

·That is a beauty! I’d just get the hour and minute hands relumed, otherwise the rest will fall out bit by bit.

·What a stunner. Personally, I wouldnt hesitate to get the hands relumed by an expert.

·Amazing watch Matt! I always love hearing the full story 😀
Would also go for a relume. It feels a bit like someone missing one of his teeth at the front ;-)

Oh, there’s zero chance this’ll be a safe queen. Matter in fact it’s been on my wrist almost every day since I got it and will be until I hand it over to my watchmaker at the end of the month. The last service was in ‘77, I guess it’s about time.

·What a great story and a wonderful, wonderful pick-up. As a fairly recent owner of an EW (65), I can certainly relate to the appeal of these over the classic moonwatch, especially in terms of size.
I can't offer expert advice but would echo that reluming the hands is the best way to go (that way you keep the original hands and make cosmetic, stabilisation changes to it).

·Thanks for sharing your watch and story. There's a lot of great things about this forum. But the number one best thing is to find other like-minded people who can't help loving a beautiful old watch. Great find and great new home.

·That's a banger !! Congratulations. Finding a crown should not be too bad, I found one for my '68 a few weeks after I started looking about a year or two ago. Best of luck on that.
