Last week, our first Speedy Tuesday event of 2023 took place in Japan. It was a one-day event in the beautiful Nicolas G. Hayek Center building in Ginza, Tokyo.

Would it be accurate that the majority of attendees were wearing modern vs vintage?

Would it be accurate that the majority of attendees were wearing modern vs vintage?

Correct, as I wrote in the article: “It was great to see so much variety, from vintage pieces to the latest Speedmaster editions. Panda/reverse panda dials and special/limited editions seemed to be the most popular models, though.”

It was a great event to attend, learning about Spirate tech, Super Racing, dial making and a fantastic dinner to end the night.

Thank you RJ and the Fratello team for organizing it.

Also very fun to meet several OF members at the event too! Quite surprised that there was a lot of people that had flown in from abroad to attend the event. All I can say is it's a great community.

Hope and plan to wear the Speedy Tuesday jacket at the next Speedy Tuesday event

It's a watch that nobody asked for and it appears nobody wanted. It was a riff on the Apollo 8, it's out of the catalog now. The odd thing was it was always more expensive than the Apollo 8, licensing fees perhaps?

As far as I can tell, not a single Japan racing dial or Mitsukoshi dial to be seen?

Wish this event would make its way to North America at some point. Or maybe I already missed it.
