    Fresh off the FedEx truck from Kringkily is my new 145.022 with original boxes and a bit of papers/accessories. George reached out to me a few weeks after I asked him to find me a birth year (1979) Speedy Pro with this beautiful thing.
    Service history is unknown but the case isn't overly polished, it has a few love scratches, minor wear on the bezel, original bracelet, some patina forming on the indices, hour, minute and chron hand. Really really pleased overall.

    Kringkily was a pleasure to deal with! I'd recommend anyone see him if looking to purchase a used vintage Speedy.

    Now on with the good stuff! Enjoy

    Nice Speedy! It looks tiny next to that PO!

    What's next?

    Thanks. It IS tiny next to the PO. Quite a contrast from wearing a SMPO to the Speedy but I like it.

    Next is either an Ed White (if I can ever afford one) or a Grey Side/Dark Side of the Moon!

    I love how you assume there will be another Omega up next. These things are like drugs.

    Congrats! That's a really nice speedmaster, with a full kit. Good luck on your quest for an Ed white, I'm sure there's one with your name on it.

    Yes, but there's no known cure or rehab!

    Very nice condition and great to get one in your birth year. It is especially nice to have found one with original box as well. Enjoy.
