How did you go about ordering one? My dad is a retired flight officer (VAW-112) and a big Speedy geek and would love one of these!
Go to the hodinkee article and it link is back to an OF post that has that info.

I haven’t been able to find a Hodinkee article, are you referring to the Fratello article? It links back to this thread.

Heading to work after a chunk of time off. At the end of this trip I’ll stop by a watch store to get the bracelet on and fitted.

Blue skies, y’all!

Very nice Photoshop project !
Are you somehow implying these are fakes, even after seeing them on-wrist?

All of those watches in that digital brochure are renderings. Technically, for anyone that enjoys creating and editing, this would be a nice photoshop project to create all those variations, and overall spread.

Sure, that's plausible. Just wasn't sure from his one-liner ... I know from personal experience that tone can be mistaken in forum-speak.

I was yes. And slowly changing my mind. But my internal process is not over...

And there you have it, your supposition was not the correct position based on tone. What prize do I win, Burt?

Never said I was speaking on behalf of the other member. Only shared my perspective as I enjoy creating with photoshop, but I guess, thanks for taking the time to point out I was wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

I call it the Flight Qualified Speedy, or FQS, for short.

More pictures to follow!

Blue skies, y’all!

Could you DM me that POC? I recently retired and would like to get in on one of these. Thanks!
