    A new addition arrives tomorrow. How well did the pictures tell the story? We only know when we finally get it in person. Looking forward to unwrapping a new-to-me 45 year old Speedmaster.

    Then you guys can pick it apart!

    Over polished!
    Replacement (crown, pusher, hands, bezel)!
    Puffy tritium!
    Kidding! I hope!

    oops guess I should wait to see it.

    Unless you're the guy that got the 145.012 in a box from eBay for $4k.

    Where was the Buy-It-Now option when I flagged it to watch? ;)

    Did I guess right?

    Yes, what if it was USED?, WORN on the WRIST?, SERVICED WITH NEW PARTS by an OWNER who LOVED and USED IT?, AND THEN TOOK CARE OF IT?

    Not the watch above.

    All kidding aside, that would be IDEAL. I appreciate nice examples, but the Pristine/Mint Plus Plus ones are a bit sterile and boring...

    The Speedy with honest wear has a story, and if we're lucky we know the story. If we don't know the story, we're left to imagine the possibilities...

    I HAVE SPEEDY FEVER! I may just be as anxious as you to see it (probably not but I am looking forward to it)!

    Congrats in advance and welcome to the Family!
