G’day folks
After having been following Archer and others on here for years, I thought I would join up too.
I have been a Speedmaster fan since seeing my first advertisements back in the early 1970s of NASA Astronauts wearing Speedies on the National Georgaphic adds. However trying to find a nice 321 in mint condition (non service parts) for a decent price has been a nightmare since the early 1990s when I had the money to afford one. So when new Ed White 321 came out in steel in 2020 I had to have it. Same with Snoopy 50th anniversary and my daily beater is a Co-axial 9300 in steel. Looking forward to further great information from Archer and fellow members
cheers

Welcome. It’s never too late !
The only thing you need is an avatar picture 😉

 

[Arunski]

Unfortunately haven’t figured out yet how to add my avatar yet (not the most social media savy yet and believe on mobile / profile isn’t editable? Or am I just being stupid old fart like my nieces & nephews say regular when they try to explain their love affair with tiktok 😁
