Just arrived today and loving the GV green hues....
I kind of get what you’re saying. I have a Racing and a Date, which work really well on my small wrists. I feel like I really, REALLY ought to have a Pro of some kind, just due to its somewhat iconic nature. However, much as I like them to look at and that the size doesn’t drown my wrist, every time I try one on, I’m left just a little bit underwhelmed.
It may be that I’ve yet to find the right one for me, as I’ve never tried a heselite version or indeed anything ‘vintage’. Perhaps that will see the Speedy Pro bug bite properly!
Lovely looking watch though

The blue is lovely, but one colour too many for my liking. The black allows the green sapphire to show itself best IMO.
Photos taken by hand on a Samsung J5 phone! I of course agree with your choice... but the blue is lovely in sunlight too.
Day 1, I'm very impressed with the finishing. First time I've seen micro adjusters fully hidden away INSIDE the clasp. That's smart....very smart.
Like that Steinhart a lot,Rusty 👍
That is a stunner. I've always liked that watch. I agree that the Blue runs it pretty close, but I think yours just pips it.
Nearly bought one a while back as a planned exit watch, but it never happened - would have saved an aweful lot of messing around 😂
Enjoy, it is a lovely watch.
just bought this on Ebay
Congrats everyone on your new arrivals! Here's my excuse to catch up with this cool thread again:
After all the recent talk about Speedmasters, I decided that I really didn't know enough to venture into the vintage Speedy world but found this cracker from 2014 on SC from marcus.furious.
Immaculate and gorgeous (the watch, not marcus)

I've been searching for a replacement to my old Mk XII for some time, but when the opportunity arose to snag one of the Mk XVIII Tribute to Mk XIs came along it seemed like a pretty good alternative. Arrived this morning, was immediately popped onto a Watch Gecko nato in a perfect colourway and now it's off to see it's first game of Premiership football
Thank you both, this was a tough decision to sell but it’s going to be well loved and it was a pleasure discussing it with both of you.
Good catch - I also got my first IWC this week.. perfect for my weekend work with colleagues in the US.

Just had this delivered, not everyone's taste but I wanted something different to my other watches.

It's an Ocean Crawler Lume Rush Diver V2 (I had never heard of them until about 3 weeks ago when I came across this)

Chuffed to bits with this one... Was between this and the blue dial one.. Both lovely but plumped for the black. Increadable value for money and even more so with a great discount.. A no Brainer.
Lovely fit and very comfortable and with the easy extension clasp slider even better during the hot months.
Sadly put away for Xmas now.. Not long though.

Thanks! Wears large and tall (at least on a NATO), very legible, adequate lume, runs accurately at ~+1spd. The date window doesn't bug me (but I decided before the purchase that it wouldn't bug me, YMMV). The recessed dome sapphire and screwbars rather than springbars set it apart from other case designs in this style, I think. With only black and white accents, quite a strap monster. It's quite a GADA for me, too. :)
Wow, never occurred to me it could appear THAT fancy, cheers!
Another pic from that same day but with a glimpse of sun:
Finally got a chance to snap my beautiful new (to me, and in all practical senses) Straton Legera "Bullhead" chrono:
Many thanks to @ColDaspin for enabling my addiction!
First post on here (couldn't find an introduction thread but this seemed as good a place as any to start) so here's the first pic (of probably many) this arrived last week. And thanks for the add!
Postman just called ...
Two incomings in a week! I am a very lucky man. First to arrive was a GP Laureato ceramic followed by an H Moser & Cie pioneer rotating bezel funky blue. Going to stop buying for a while now and just enjoy!
