·What does it matter what ones motives are for collecting. I don't see a problem if one chooses to "masturbate with his collection", not my preference but each to their own. My watches are mine and I can choose to do what I want with them. Since my collection is predominantly old Speedys I don't think masturbating over them would be a wise choice as they are not waterproof at best.
What a ridiculous statement. Rant over.

·The museum unfortunately is not too helpful. Actually there was nobody for long being very knowledged about the Speedmasters details. Only look at that lousy 2998 they showed there for years also shown in their database. Everything is wrong: Bezel, hands, dial 🤪

·Wouldn't worry touch about the bracelet when you have a watch like this. Maybe it's as some as the original owner didn't like the original or broke it and bought a new one.
In any event, congratulations.

I'll keep an eye out for a reasonable 7077 (not likely) or reevaluate the economics of buying one if I ever decide to sell. May not make sense even then. I would't wear it anyway; strap is preferable.
And yes, my working theory is that the original bracelet broke in performance of his demanding outdoor job. Even the replacement has a bent end link at the clasp.

·Amazing! Love the way it aged. Was ABC reasonably priced? And what strap is that?
