My first post on this forum as well and II have to say, you really took the words out of my mouth. I personally don't own a speedy but, I've been wearing my dad's 3570.50 speedy from 1999 because he didn't give it much wrist time. Me being a space enthusiast, the Speedmaster was the watch that caught my eye when NASA published pictures of their missions, Gemini, Apollo, Space Shuttle and even now the International Space Station expeditions and like you said, it's a watch that is so simple that it's perfect. Hell, as I'm typing this right now, it's on my wrist desk diving xD
I'd love to own a limited edition like the panda 35th Anniversary Apollo 11 or the Speedy Tuesday reverse panda but it just doesn't have that cool factor of "yeah it's the same model that the astronauts wear on their missions". But yeah, even if I don't own the watch, I think I may have been infected with the speedy fever.
BTW, any quick remedies for cleaning up the scratches on the hesalite other than sending it in for polishing?
