路I'm really liking the tintin. I enjoy wearing it more than the regular speedy pro. Not sure why. Maybe the rarity of it?

路Just got mine today fresh from Tokyo.
There were at least 3 sitting in 3 different shops. I really wonder if this tin tin is really discontinued...
Swapped it immediately onto a Nomos horween leather strap with red stitching

路@TJH Wow, I'm very impressed you picked up on that. I recently found out that I'm related to him and have been digging for more and more info on him.

From the little I have read about Willy Mairesse, he had a very unlucky life, ending in suicide.
So from one Belgian speedster to another
model: Airfix Ferrari 156 F1 (Sharknose) and driven by Willy Mairesse at SPA 1962

路路I might rise, but I refuse to shine.I am certain as I can be that they are no longer in production or being secretly produced in batches 馃槑. I'd just say a number squirrelled away for a rainy day by someone. Still, I guess it is possible that Swatch could be drip feeding some ADs the last of the held stock, I can see the benefit of not flooding the market, but that's a long, agonising process for Swatch. Thoughts?
I am not sure that of the many you have recently seen @boltman how many are from Omega Boutiques, ADs or on the used market, be curious to hear your observations on that though.
Btw, @TJH they are much nicer, as I suspect many here will confirm, when seen in the metal. True that. 馃榿

路I've been wanting a speedy for a while now, and recently had a little windfall, so soon this one will be mine! Just waiting on the funds to transfer.
