That one was sold at Fellows last month... the ebay sellers looking for a pretty hefty profit!

Its not bad in Black MOP, just not sure the market for 49.5mm MOP dialed watches... Then again I had a 4'11 gf that could pull of a 48mm DKNY black ceramic and it was bold but not bad... Looked horribad and too large on me at 6'4.

This thing. Shoehorned every complication in they could, short of an annual/perpetual calendar... To really appreciate its 'uniqueness' one needs to put it on... 25lbs and about 3' high...
All that being said, if I worked in the tropics 6 months of the year as a dive master, then maybe yah, it'd be useful, and a decent tool watch. Should come down in price by the time I take on that said retirement job.

Including, apparently, a subdial that indicates whether you’re using the co-axial movement or the chronometer graded one, and doubles as a depth gauge to boot 😁

This and the follow-up "Explorers on the Moon" are very cool kids comics...so, although although I do not consider it to be my favourite Speedy LE, I still think it is quite cool...similar to the Snoopy with a light-hearted / comic twist (as well as the Apollo 13 ref.)

Thanks! Finally I know where the name comes from...

Talk about taking tool watch and turning it into a watch for a tool. 🤮
LOL - You're not kidding, 'Tool'watch indeed. In all seriousness it should be criminal to do that to a Speedmaster :whipped:
