Fair play, you've done a nice job there and you haven't even mentioned the "sub dial" fix at six. I didn't have the balls to fix mine, so got Sir Zigmeister to do it. It really makes a difference.

I regulated my speedy using the information I found here...

Also, read the post by Sir Zig of Meister, which is under the picture. For your information, I took my time and over a couple of days, I managed to get my watch +5 every 24hrs.

mmm.....

Thanks for that gents.

Anyone use newsgroups? If so, out of interest, which news reader do you use?

Yes, more pictures please. One of El capitan would be smashing (910m of vertical rock formation).

That's a smashing looking watch Red, I really like it on the desert tan nato.

Pug, you got it! I'm really pleased for you. I've recently purchased a gen 3750.50 and I'm really "made up" with it. Good for you.

Cheers Pugwash, I hope you enjoyed looking up these "factoids" as much as I have. You were right about the early Mercury flights, there was no approved watch for space and pilots could wear almost any watch they wished to take. It just so happened that Wally Schirra and Gordon Cooper took speedmasters for their missions. It wasn't untill March 1st 1965 that NASA had an

Redwatch, what a great post! I have been collating some speedmaster

Are you sure it wasn't a speedmaster "reduced"? That has different subdial spacing and there is no accent over the "E" in tackymetre.

Cheers Rob & Jennifer, have a smashing time!

Youpmelone, if Rob and Jennifer don't take up your offer and the bed happens to be in Lauterbrunnen, can I visit you instead? Early September will be great! LOL

Try Spinmaster, he's in Singapore, just look him up in the memberlist and send him a message.

Fooking hell Rip, this is a great post that's made me chuckle. Good one m8!

If you liked the films "Snatch" and "Star Wars" check this out for a laugh...............!

LOL!

A couple of weeks ago, this watch left the UK and travelled due west, all the way to Canada. Waiting for it was the one and only....... Sir The Zigmeister of Zumba

After some C3 super lume and a very important subdial freeze at 6, It was returned and travelled back across the pond.

It's my favorite watch and it's going to get a ton of weekend wrist time. Thanks to FxrAndy on his speedmaster review and huge thanks to The Zigmeister for "fitting me in". It's the "donkeys kn*b" and I'm really made up with it.

I'm glad you did, one of your posts was a review on Eurotimez's speedmaster moonwatch. I bought one not long after your review and after all this time I'm still "made up" with it. It's my favorite watch and gets loads of wrist time.

So........ thanks FxrAndy
