    407329BF-07A9-470C-865F-936159768C2A.jpeg Kind of following a lot of the other posts about a first speedmaster I guess. Now that I have one I wish I had done it years ago. But it seemed like there was always some other watch that got purchased instead.
    I love the space exploration history of the watch. Like a lot of us I watched the moon landings on tv as a child. You don’t hear kids saying they want to grow up to be astronauts anymore, kind of sad. The manual winding is even a plus for me as I feel the daily ritual adds to the connection with the watch.
    Anyway I slapped a favorite old bracelet that I think originally came off a Seiko on it. It will be my new beater/every day watch from now on. Couldn’t be happier with it and I am glad to see first hand now what all the fuss is about. I love my speedy.

    Possed the required wrist shot before I swapped out the band it came on as I understand it didn’t really happen without pics :)

    Buy some bandages and disinfectant. You'll be walking around all smitten, looking constantly at your wrist, and injuring yourself by banging headfirst into walls, street signs, light poles, etc.
