Finally picked up the correct buckle without paying silly money, arrived exactly one year to the day since I bought the watch.
So...tried different strap on the 69 Speedy.... and then opted for 60s TT Zodiac Seawolf with...erm...some dial patination. Honestly who needs a DateJust with this beauty?
Happy thanksgiving to those in the states (late to our Canadian friends), and all the best to everyone else.
