·Now I know the Teutonic Speedmaster may not be the most loved Speedmaster around town, but a little guilty pleasure of mine has been to have long had a secret soft spot for this Germanic ' zwarte schaap ' cousin of the Pro. I think it's the slightly space age look, the bead blasted steel case and the rebellious 'I don't care what you think' nature of this rendition that appeals to me. Unlike the Pro these always look awful when worn hard so finding one as close to perfect as possible is prerequisite.
My patience paid off when @Aludic scored a very fine example in an auction a few months ago. I had put in an immediate "dibs''....as this was really, "The One", the condition as good as perfect and with a super tight bracelet and B&P to boot. A short time later the new arrival buzz had worn off for @Aludic and I 'got the call', well actually the Whatsapp...but I don't want to be pendantisch here....
Anyway today I had the macro out for an upcoming sales post and thought I'd take a couple of pictures of what I find to be quite a sexy watch with its matt tones and smooth organic lines...
Anybody else with a penchant for these?
