Have wanted a speedy for years. This is the watch that had me interested in watches to begin with. For one reason or another, every time I was in the market for a watch, I would come across something else. I finally said, I am not buying another watch unless it is a speedy.

I was browsing the WUS for sale section for a few weeks, as well as ebay and watchrecon. I came across a members listing and pulled the trigger. Got a 3572.50 hesalite/sapphire sandwich in near perfect condition.

 

Great effort. The 3572 is highly sought after and looking at that movement doesn't get old! Congrats!

 

nice watch.. I'm also a fan of the 3572 and the 3592

Congrats! And welcome to the club.

 

Congratulations! This is the model I want (Rhodium 1863 and SuperLuminova). Enjoy it!

 

Thank you. Loving this watch, its making me want to sell off the rest of my collection.

 

Congrats on the watch....well done!

 

Well done and be careful you started something that is ridiculously difficult to control

 

Thank you. I need to start collecting some straps

 

Oh, for sure! Go hog wild! Just do it!

Congrats regarding the Speedy purchase!

 

I got really, really lucky last week and walked into one of my local dealers... just as the former owner of a 3572.50 was walking out...

 

Am I correct that there's two sandwich models? One with sapphire and one with hesalite? I think the hesalite model is discontinued now nut the sapphire is still available?

 

I believe that is true. Not entirely sure.

 

Welcome and great watch!

 

A very cool watch !

 

My 3572 just came in the mail today, too! Thanks, watchrecon, the best worst thing to happen to a guy...

 

I bought mine within 1 hour of discovering watch recon.

 

Correct. 3572 is the hesalite/sapphire and discontinued. Current ones are the 3573.50 (with their new serial number designations) and are sapphire/sapphire
