And when the Speedy is not worn on the wrist (i.e WRUW) - it is a legible and functional table clock on the side table during the night in the bedroom.
Tea and the Economist on a wet, cold, grey and sad day. Great obit on Stan Lee in this weeks edition. I’m sure they will do right by GWB next week. Positive vibes from the Devil Diver Crono.
You say that like it’s a bad thing I propose a Poll to determine members position on titties and kittens....and puppy dogs. This afternoon
Relaxing. Made it over 1,000 posts. (Damn if that isn’t a beautiful watch. Call me a heretic, but no Rolex chronograph looks nearly as good, to me anyway. And thank goodness for that!)
I agree that that is the closest Rolex ever came. Had I found that watch, black with white subdials, before I found my first Speedmaster, I’m sure I wouldn’t be posting here now, if I’m honest. I’d be over in the Rolex forum. In 1982, if Shreve SF had had a Daytona with that dial in their store, instead of one with the white face and black dials, I’d have sprung for the $1,200 it was at the time, and paid it off some way. And I’d never have bought my -74 Speedmaster in a pawn shop three months later, for about $225. Hmm... Anyway, @Canuck : Dibs, please, even though I doubt I could afford it. Ring me first anyway. It is spectacular. This is as close as I can come to a concession on this issue.
