redwatch Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hi Guys, Got this quite some time ago, and finally have had a chance to shoot some pics for you. Some of you may recognize this one. I think it has been passed around a little bit! Reviewed by Bazz sometime ago. This one has the correct hesalite domed crystal, frozen subdial at 6 o'clock, gen clasp, and gen closed caseback. Powered by a Seagull ST-19 manual movement. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Nice! Makes me miss mine....I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Oh man... that's a classic vintage rep. Maybe not super accurate by today's standards but solidly built high quality rep. I had its "cousin", the white BA version. Technically identical with yours. Article Edit: I forgot that I owned this one too. It was the "reduced" version.

dluddy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 A true classic. I had one with the frozen sub at 6:00 and loved it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8! Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 As Speedy reps go, that's a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuuubeh Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Is it the 42mm version? Do all 42mm ones come with the Seagull ST19? It's a bit confusing which is which with these imo ;x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 WOW It' like a family reunion in here. I sold this to Dluddy some time ago if I remember correctly and I found a link from this watch in my drawer. Shoot me a PM redwatch and I will mail it to you.

redwatch Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Here's my Speedmaster on a new V1 NASA strap. It's so comfortable, especially in this summer heat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GQ1 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Simply beautiful. A classic indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Love the old Speedy reps. I had one of the good ones for a while. It made me buy my gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yes, I can see why you would want to buy a gen! And the one you found is superb! It's such a great looking watch. Saw one the other day in a movie called "State of Play". Russell Crowe was wearing one on leather. Classic and functional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 was that crystal aftermarket? or stock on the older reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I am not sure if it is gen or not, but it definitely didn't come with the reps stock. Bought it this way, so I would have to defer to the experts on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yes, I can see why you would want to buy a gen! And the one you found is superb! It's such a great looking watch. Saw one the other day in a movie called "State of Play". Russell Crowe was wearing one on leather. Classic and functional! , I also spotted the Speedmaster on his wrist in that movie! I am in a Speedmaster-mode at the moment.. I have had a late sixties "Speedmaster Mark II" and the "reduced Speedmaster". The Mark II was stolen three years ago, and I sold the reduced. Some weeks ago, the police called to say that they had recovered some items which were stolen, but the Speedy was not among them. Then I realized that I really missed the Speedy. Then Pugwash posted the nice pictures of his recent purchase, and I started to see Speedmasters everywhere! I rather like the "Mark-series" of the Speedmasters. The Mk III, Mk IV and Mk 4.5 have a more complicated movement and a calendar.. Just have to make a decision. By the way, lovely rep you have. It is nice that the genunie caseback fits on the case. Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I will live in the shadow of the; "....shoulda, woulda, coulda....' of this watch. I bought almost all my watches exclusively from Eddie until he bowed out. I always wanted this rep version but figured there was always time and concentrated too much on Rolex then. Oh well, I've followed this piece through it's different hands of ownership, so to you too Red; "Nice watch!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
