    Im sure many of you have seen this one before, I think is a sharp-looking Speedy.

    No secret that I'm not much for Speedmasters, but that's a good looking watch. :thumbsup:

    I wish. Its whereabouts (Taiwan) and terms (bank wire only) are holding me back...

    I almost bought one of these new several years back, had to make a choice between this and the Apollo 11 35th Panda. Panda won out, but still love these. Very classy looking.

    I purchased this piece in July 2007. To others who have one, I noticed from day one, the chrono second-hand stutters a bit. At the time, I was told it was normal for this movement. My two other Speedy's (19 year-old Moonwatch and Panda Date) do not stutter...they are smooth as silk.
    Appreciate your thoughts and comments.

    Gorgeous. Are there two different apollo 15s? this one, and one with a red, blue, white circle at the edge of the dial?
