    I have been looking at the yellow dial and yellow strap version of this watch but im unsure, i normally like to see a watch in person before i just go ahead and buy it but because i cannot find one near me to go and see im unsure what to do... I know its not going to be a massive collectors hit but i need an everyday speedy.

    This is where you guys come in...

    Yellow Speedy Schumacher - thx to RJ @ Fratello Watches for the link back.

    YES or NO?

    Answers below please...

    I like the colors and look of the watch, but put a black strap with yellow stitching on it.

    I agree, love the watch...hate the strap. Get a quality black padded strap with yellow stitching...or all black.

    In truth I dont like it in yellow or the similar red one but would look better with the black strap.

    I like red or blue as well, but the yellow certainly is noticeable .

    Red and blue not so keen on. Like the yellow as it stands out!

    Thx for link Kendrick but I would want one with original box and papers, there will be one out there somewhere!

    If the orange PO is nicknamed the "Pumpkin" ... Then this is the "Banana" for sure !

    Will look awesome with a black strap !

    :D Miami... nice! I was in the OB last week and now I'm interested in the Speedmaster Racing in black or white dial with a touch of yellow in it.

    You might have missed by $500 but you wouldn't know it unless you kept upping the bid - and even if you lost you still wouldn't know how much you lost by. If the winner entered $2000 for their maximum bid and you were the second highest bidder at $1200, the automatic system at eBay would only use enough of the winner's money to beat your bid by the preset minimum for that price bracket.
