Well the way to detect original Swiss wrist cheese is to look for the holes....

Cheese, unlike wine, doesn’t get better with age. LOL! Seriously, gorgeous watch, but it’ll be even nicer cleaned up IMO

if you don't service the movement, you can't really run it. You could just wear it without setting the time or winding, but at a certain point, the whole "collector" thing gets a bit irrational 🤨

This watch is also from the same batch as the 2915-3 pictured in MWO page 248. Serial: 16.649.XXX
I wonder how many numbers apart are they...

@ndgal My vote would be a case cleaning and Hesalite polishing. Other than that, you’ve reached the top of the watch latter in my opinion.

I’d want to wear it regularly. I’d just have to convince myself it didn’t cost what others suggest it does😀 Wowzer, it’s a stunner!

Part of the thrill will be wearing a watch that 95% of the people you encounter will have no idea of its significance. Wear it with Pride!!!

Ha. Funny, I was wearing it out to dinner with a buddy last night and I told him that most likely 99.9999% of people won't know what it was. I think you are too kind... 😉

Well I figured the percentage varies a bit from one persons circle to the next.

Was not sure if you only ran with the ilLUMEnati or amongst civilians😉😗

99.9999% is probably more accurate!

Gorgeous. Just enjoy as is for now. No musts or ‘have to do’s’. Leave it be, take a breath, admire. Clear your mind, put it away for a while, and then repeat. This beautiful piece of art is yours now.. 😀

I had friends stay over from abroad recently and after they saw my 60th Anniversary Speedy poster in my office they asked ‘Is Speedmaster a watch brand?’...

More for me.

An absolute breathtaking catch N. I doubt any better exist. WIGH and tripple-mad-dog-double-wrist-DIBS -with-extra-cheese-on-top(should out-dibs all the rest)....
