I honestly don’t know if it gets better than this…

I never thought I’d find “the exit watch”, but I genuinely haven’t ever been this in love with a watch in my whole life. I would change nothing about it. I think that means it’s perfect right?

If it’s good enough to go to the moon…then it’s probably ok 🤣

·

Yep. 👍👍

Got my Grail a few years ago, it certainly changes your perspective!

As I said in a previous post, you'll now become a strap collector (& it's far cheaper!) 😀

·

Wow nice

·

That IS a very nice watch! Congrats. The fact though that you wouldn’t change anything about this particular watch doesn’t mean ofc you would or should not buy any other watches :)

·

Beautiful watch!

I give you 2 weeks before you say you found another beautiful watch 😂😂

·

Probably getting the Bulova soon to hold me over until the day this can happen.

·

I've found mine as well. It's not a Speedmaster but i feel like mine was made just for me and no other watch lives up to it in my eyes. Congratulations on finding yours

·

Whoa, if you're done, that means you can't sit with us anymore. I'm so sorry, but it has to be this way.

·

Trust me, you'll find something new, I've been there, I thought the journey is over. Apparently it never is

·

In five ten years you'll post the same words.

Congrats

·

Yeah

With the same watch?

True story...that was the watch that marked my entrance in to collecting rather than the exit. 👍

·

It’s so fucking good. I’ll never sell mine. It’s mine. There are many like it but mine is mine. 😂cue the full metal jacket clip here…😂

Same. The speedy was the first one I properly saved for and bought to mark an occasion

This is very true. However, the speedy stays. You don’t trade your speedy. In my opinion at least. That particular watch has a special corner in my watch box. It’s the genesis if you will…

Keep going. Speedmaster day is a really good day. You’ll get it. Eye on the prize.

I’m not really an expert on the different speedies but is that the acrylic or sapphire version?

I knew VERY little about watches when I was gifted a Speedmaster in 2019 because of my interest in the history of space exploration. That year was the 50th Anniversary of the first manned moon landing and my wife thought it would be cool to hook me up with THE quintessential space watch.

Getting to know that watch opened the door to a whole new area of collecting. 👍

·

It's a beautiful watch! I've had a decade of being content not to purchase another watch & wear mostly one watch. Enjoy!

·

There’s a reason the design has only been slightly varied over the decades. It is a modern classic.

·

I've the same one, it was a 50th birthday present from my wife. Its my favourite piece in my collection.
