    It seems the skyrocketing prices have people unloading speedies at the moment. Two transitionals ditched in the last two weeks, and for good prices. So to all those lucky enough to be keeping them, lets see them!

    Subscribed. I've seen 4 for sale since the week of Christmas and each listing is for a higher price than the last! When it rains it pours it seems.

    Well (as you're aware), the only reason I jettisoned one of them was to help fund a rather special incoming. My other one, however, isn't going anywhere. Probably the Speedy I've worn most in the past 3 months.

    @flame, there seems to be a whole pile coming to market. Maybe your luck will change! ;)

    Pre service.

    It's since had new hands, the remaining mouldy lume removed and a light case refinish at STS.

    It won't win any awards but my dad loves it as his day wearer and it certainly wasn't expensive.

    I believe it to be an extremely rare prototype.
