It has been decided!

After much deliberation, research, and SpeedyTuesday Instagram stocking, I picked up this beauty for my 45th birthday. 3 hour drive to the nearest AD and a rest stop for some lunch on my way back. Thought I’d share this quick wrist check.

Happy speedy birthday, looks great well worth the drive.

Congratulations! Now, all you'll do during a work meeting is starting, stopping, and resetting that chronograph because it's a great fidget toy.

I checked my speedometer my timing from mile marker to mile marker. Turns out it’s 1 mph slow.

I assume you mean your car's speedo is slow, 'cause it can't be the Speedy. :)

You are correct dear sir! I’m going to have to send my Ram 1500 in for service. So says NASA.

·

The timepiece as your birthday's souvenir👍😍

Happy birthday, and magnificent choice, such a cracking good watch.

Nice! Happy birthday! I will be doing the same soon hopefully, although I have and AD much closer. How much did you pay? Was there any negotiation? I've never bought a watch from an AD before, so looking for any tips..TIA

I was checking on Chrono24, and after shipping and insurance, the ADs on there were asking between $7K and $7.7K for the same Watch. I asked for $7.1 and they said they would give me $100 off, or $7.5. I took it and moved on. I had already decided I was going to have it in hand before purchase and was therefore “okay” with the price.

Not good advice if you are looking for a good deal.
