    Finally made it back to my cave and picked up a few things on the way.

    Here are two very different examples of 2998-4. One from Australia, (from a well respected member of this forum, thank you!) and one from a country I usually avoid, Italy.

    As arrived, I haven't even had the backs off - I think I will send them straight to the Essex boys. My feeling with 321 servicing, is make hay while the sun shines.

    Hey!! You only get ONE 'dibs' at a time, right?

    You take 'chocolate', and I'll take the Pulsations... PLEASE??::love::

    These are both amazing, congratulations!

    Nice contrast!
    Based on personal preference (and not value), I have to say I find the non-choc visually more appealing.
    Do you have a tally of exactly how many speedies you own by now? You must need a spreadsheet to keep track of them all :)

    Yeah, that 'cave' must be amazing.

    Perhaps you have an extra 'Pulsations' with 'yellowed' markers layin' around you need to cast off...;) !?

    Ok. You guys asked......and so here is a rare gathering of some of the "Browns", in the cave

    The Blacks are in the box.

    And this is just the 321's. The 861's are elsewhere, and anyway I don't think I could balance them all.

    I'm off again in two days, so wont see these guys for a few months

    Are these all purely 'patinated'?

    Amazing!

    Where is this cave!? ::bleh::
    Actually, I am not a greedy person, I would be satisfy with the one on the lower right of the pyramid. Dibs on that!

    I had to put my sun-glasses on as it was blinding me. "Beautiful" ain't the word for that collection, more like "Remarkable"!

    Amazing.

    Is it correct that the 60's pulsations bezels have the dashed line under the numbers, with modern ones having dots, or is there more than one type?

    Interesting to see the different fonts on the same reference.
