·Yep……. Have a few speedies tucked away but vintage prices are still a bit silly and I still worry about wearing the ‘ed
Whites’ and older stuff!
I bought this beauty about a year ago and it get worn as one of my few daily wears! Gets at least 1 day per week since I bought it! Perfect combo of neo-vintage and daily wear and it’s the orignal display back version so the movement looks amazing!
Took me longer to find the correct orignal sharkskin omega strap than the watch itself! Typical

·Like some others, not a Professional but, it is the watch worn most in my rotation. It is the most comfortable and most likely to be on my wirst.

·I bought my Speedy reduced exactly as a daily. Then I decided to give it a full overhaul including case (impressive work done by kevin -watchcaserestorations on instagram) and afterwards I even bought a NOS bracelet.
As it does look brandnew now I take it off when I am working actively in the lab (magnets, steel surfaces etc) but otherwise I try to live with the fact that it will inevitably get scratches/lifemarks - did not buy it to leave it in the drawer.

·I wear mine every day, which has raised the odd eyebrow as I’m a primary school teacher, but the way I see it it’s safer on my wrist than it would be sitting in an empty home all day, at risk of a break-in.

·Why should a Speedy on the wrist of a primary school teacher raise a few eyebrows? And whose eyebrows are raised? Your colleagues? Or the parents?.

·Most days, I’m usually wearing one (or two) of my Speedmasters…both at the office and away from the office. The 861, 1861, and 3861 get the most wrist time and the 321 is usually reserved for more special occasions (but it has been worn at the office)…

1. Why is this guy wearing something that costs the best part of eight grand when he barely earns that in a quarter and
2. Doesn’t it get caked in snot and glitter etc every day??

Did you read the title? No offence meant, genuinely, but that is not what’s being discussed.

1. This is a guy who saves up his pennies, and is an astute investor 😁
2. It doesn't matter, a Speedy is tough enough to take it!

Ha ha! To clarify:
1. it was actually a 40th birthday gift and I feel naked without it
2. I quit last week anyway so its time putting up with such hazards is almost at an end!

·Ditto
I have a small number of watches that I would consider as "dressy/formal" wear only and one or two that are sentimental value and get worn rarely. Pretty much all the rest are daily wearers. This includes my Speedy.
So whilst my speedy doesn't get worn every day due to rotation it is definitely in that category.
