Hi all, I wanted to share a picture of my fixed up speedy. I bought a pretty beat up one from the forum in February. I had the dial and hands replaced. I then had the dents/dings buffed out (without polishing) and lastly had the movement completely overhauled and a sapphire crystal put on the back. It's essentially brand new!
Looking really nice I personally think if a watch has been used hard it should have a refurb. Some vintage watches are in poor condition just for the sake of originality. Then again nobody wants a watch like triggers brush.
The dings and dents were mostly on the case back... They are good now. I have a major illness. I really enjoyed sourcing all of the parts to refurbish this watch...I have worn it for a day and my thoughts are "eh". It's a gorgeous speedy, but I am already looking forward to the next project. We're going low dollar on the next one:
