    Any service history? Or are you sending it for a service anyway?

    No service history, no box/papers, but I will check with my watchmaker (accuracy, water resistance) whether it needs service.

    Excellent price for one with a display back. Is it a hesalite crystal?

    I especially like the aged lume. A timeless addition to any collection.

    Re: New arrival - speedy pro

    Lovely watch and a bargain as well. Are you going to do anything with the missing lume on the minute hand?

    I would get the hour and the minute relumed with 'aged' look lume, to match the lovely creamy dial.

    My watchmaker took a look - gaskets are OK, it runs around +15sec/day, so I guess I will wear it for a while. Maybe in autumn I will get it serviced and will ask to relume during service.

    Great price! I'm very envious :wink: as i am hoping to get a speedy pro with the sapphire case back as my next "serious" watch purchase, they don't come by very often...you'd be lucky to even find a steel caseback at that price!
    Congrats!

    Still feel like in honeymoon. As today temperature dropped down from +33 yesterday to moderate +22, I put it on brown alligator.

    Is that the original SS bracelet? (the clasp looks very shiny and without the push buttons?)

    Should be original, clasps with push buttons started later. It was polished, but my watchmaker restored brushed finished while I showed watch. It took around 15 seconds.
