Possibly the most requested LE Speedmaster I get besides the 35th Anniversary Panda. An amazing watch

 

I have been looking high and low for one of those....even asked George for one, that's how bad it got

 

No, he didn't or I would have bought it. That's ok, I am looking at a transitional speedy now.

 

I sold all four really quickly mostly privately. I have been trying to source more but no luck

 

Wow. I've never seen one of these. How cool.

 

Do you ever see those '75 Soyuz models? A birth year speedy is on my short list

 

I saw one before at a show. I do have a 1168 bracelet for that watch in stock. No watch though. Those run very very expensive.

 

yeah they run around 15k. The one with the apollo soyuz on the hr register. I've seen some interesting Speedmasters in my days

 

That would be nice to read up on. I remember speaking with someone who had an x-33 that went to space. Some great space stuff!

 

Thanks for another excellent addition to the Speedy Tuesday theme. Never having seen a Snoopy Speedy in the flesh, can anyone let me know what the Snoopy image on the caseback is made from? It appears in photos to be glossy rather than matt, so is it enamel, glass or a coating of some form of plastic? How does it wear? Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

from my handling this is correct. It is an enamel paint on the inside. I have a 35th Apollo Anniversary in for a client and it is as quoted

 

I had one a few years ago. Paid $2900 and it sat on the sales forums forever until I gave it away at $2500. Amazing huh?

 

It is number 11XX

The photo shows the light splitting the glass and paint behind the sapphire a little more clear
