    Does anyone have both a Speedy and Seamaster 120, and if so can you post a photo of both sxs so I can get a better sense of their relative scale? I know the measurements--but knowing measurements in my head and seeing them with my eyes are different things.

    Many thanks for the trouble--

    Thanks! Beautiful pair! --but maybe I wasn't clear, can you put them side-by-side in the same image? I lose the scale when I superimpose them in my head--not enough synapses I guess--alas.

    Ohhhh, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for--and unfortunately, it confirms that my ambivalences about the one or the other were justified. How do you explain to your wives that one alone simply will NOT 'do'?

    I don't. My wife wants me to be happy just as I want her to be happy. She knows that these watches bring me happiness, so there's no need to justify anything other than that...

    I’m happy this was asked, I was wondering this myself for sometime. Does anyone have a side by side comparison of a 120 and 300?

    Love the red sweep with the red stitching on the Chronostop--what is the specific model called? Actually, they all look quite stunning--thank you.

    @Muddlerminnow I believe it’s actually an orange Chrono hand, may just look red in the picture, Ref. 145.007.

    Yes, that's exactly the way it is when it comes to vintage bamboo rods--I get a rod, she gets a couple of pairs of shoes--. The problem is adding watches on top of the bamboo rods, and things get out of whack a little....
