just wanted to post a pic of my "new"-69 straight writing Speedy. New here and appreciate all the insight from members. Happy to be part of the club. Thanks to @Kringkily, great seller, and @Spacefruit, fountain of knowledge. Wonderful band shown by @jankoxxx.

Thanks for sharing - I feel like I could have owned this watch since new, but I was just a wee lad. It's nice to see someone who recognized that elegance and never felt it lost its luster.

Thanks for the kind words. And to think I only paid $200 for it back in 1970.

Love those 1039 bracelets, am going absolutely berserk looking for a Speedie equipped with one.

This watch business is becoming a problem
