Will I ever find a good vintage speedy?!

Don't look on eBay.............. 😗 there is never anything to be found one there........... 😗its a terrible place where there are no bargains...........😉

I saw some speedies this week which would make the population of the forums eyes water, for now I'm going to have to make do with this old bag of spanners........... its a right pile.......... no ones ever bothered to polish it, they never even serviced the movement............ but don't worry I've ordered a nice luminova service dial and hands and a nice new bezel for it and it will look spanky new.............................😀

Oh cheers Tom, just like you to make me feel better haha. I do love the flat link bracelets; very unique.

Buddy, I hate to say it but there are SSSSSSSOOOOOOO many people hawking for Speedies nowadays, your best bet (IMHO) isn't fleabay anymore, they simply don't last two minute before some unscrupulous nobber (and no it isn't me) has lept in and offered the poor unsuspecting owner £1000 for their 105012! Best place is trawling the forums, its not the cheapest option but you know the source and you know its coming from the community, I sold a few Ed Whites and 2998's on the forums and frankly they have been well priced because I wanted them to stay in the 'family'

The other option (I know it might sound looney) is to check the fairs, I saw a lovely 105.012 at the birmingham fair about 6 months back and he wanted £2K, I didn't have £2K on me but worth every penny and he didn't sell it all day!

Cheers Tom, I'm reluctant to buy from eBay anyway but it was becoming an option. I'll find one, some day.

You bought that on eBay??
