·Stunning! Wear in good health. May I ask if this was a Chrono purchase?

·All the photos here put a dent in my wallet this week... was able to source one here in Canada! Should be coming Saturday - excited to finally see it in person.

·Wow, @macrodust you were definitely right; no photos do it justice. What a stunning dial - I tried to capture the difference between being inside & outside with the sun, looks incredible in person. On the wrist the dial is not as flashy as I thought it would be (in a good way!)
I think this just became my favorite Speedy I own. Very under-the-radar, I'm glad I jumped on the opportunity to buy one, even at todays prices. I'm surprised there isn't more "hype" around it like our friend Snoopy...

Welcome to the club and congrats on a great buy! It’s indeed a bit strange that this model doesn’t get more attention, but I think it’s partly because it’s a more attractive watch in real life than seeing it in photos, which is after all how most people have seen it. I don’t mind that, but I do believe this is a sleeper that will become more popular in the future.

I know the Panda from the collection fetches a higher value, but I still think this is the best one. I have yet to see the others in person though, but I know someone local who has all 5 from the collection (bought separately, not the box set), so I hope to see the rest in person soon.

·Thank you, and I agree 👍 I didn't really know what to expect (in fact, was getting a little nervous while I was waiting for the Fedex truck to arrive), but I'm glad it's even better than any photos I've seen. I was worried it would be too flashy, but that's not the case.

I initially wanted the panda, but after seeing the Rising Sun I was sold. I ended up getting a Mitsukoshi mod later to quench the panda thirst…

·Congrats on your new acquisition - great choice!! It'll look great paired with the 3861 bracelet. Look forward to seeing the upgrade!
In this case I’d go for the sapphire version of the bracelet. The polished midlinks will go nicely with the polished hands.

·Went to OB in Tokyo the other day, but all completely sold out now. Only thing left are the green/grey and the black/gold. Shoulda grabbed one when they were just sitting there!
