Hey you guys, I bought a Speedy case and wanted to take the chance to show it here.

Your opinion is appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Best

I don't know if they are polished or not, but it's interesting how big the difference is between the 2998-62 and the 105.002-62.

Here you go...



Absolutely no offence intended, but are you saying you think that hasn't been polished? The bevels on those lugs aren't as defined as most others I have seen, particularly the lower edges so I would have guessed that it had seen a bit of work. Most have in fairness.

Museum claims that there were no bevels on the straight lugs originally.

Hmmm...then there is one ubiquitous polisher out there putting nearly identical bevels on a load of Ed Whites...

This is the only never worn straight lug Speedmaster I own. And I am 100% sure it has never been refinished or touched. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted the pictures.

Perhaps I should have asked the model before commenting as the lugs do vary of course. Which is it? A dial shot would have helped!

A 105.003-63 with silver rehaut? Surely they were black on all the EWs? Lovely dial but I think that has had a polish.
