+1 on the AR coating. It works wonders, and well worth doing.

Excellent choice, sir, and oh- how much do I want one..?! I'd thought that the Speedys were well replicated, but what do I know? I ended up with a 2531.80 SMP, as there's not one replica (other than the coveted old factory version) with the correct HE valve position. Gets more wrist time than any other!

Well put, Rolexman!

Do it, lad! I agree with the CG's filing (and maybe a set of gen hands to finish the job)?

Congrats on your purchase. Now..just where do you think you're off to in such a hurry? Pictures, my good man..pictures, we cry!

Love that dancing girl..!

Bostin' piece that is, lad! I want one so-o-o-o bad..

Andrew has a perfect replacement bracelet and clasp (with pins, yet) for your SMP chrono. I got one, and it's superb.

Perfect! I would do mine, if I didn't have the crappy date font. It's just not worth it on mine..

I vote for the SMP 2531.80.00 It's a classic now, and will ever remain so. For wrist comfort and balance it is second to none. I can't say the same for the PO, but it is a personal choice (maybe that's why they still make so many variations). I also rend to agree with the school of thought that favors the 1120 movement (and original external design with the shorter hands, sans red paint). Nuff sed..

That's a hot looking piece, and I want one now that I've seen it, dammit-dammit-dammit!

D'oh!

??Who's having a what, where, in their what?? Link? Website? er..name of the place?!
