Pugwash Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Just the one pic. You'll be seeing a lot of this in the future, I'm afraid. Click to embiggen. No, it's not a replica, I'm afraid. No secret new factory just popped up making perfect Moonies.
andreww Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Congrats Pug! I guess we all knew this day would come at some point, glad you got such a good deal on it!
Justasgood Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Just the one pic. You'll be seeing a lot of this in the future, I'm afraid. Click to embiggen. No, it's not a replica, I'm afraid. No secret new factory just popped up making perfect Moonies. So I assume you won't be returning it right? Oh well, I guess I'll withdraw the funds and pay my watchmaker.......are you sure you want to keep it?
Pugwash Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 So I assume you won't be returning it right? I think that is a safe assumption. Oh well, I guess I'll withdraw the funds and pay my watchmaker.......are you sure you want to keep it? Let me think. Oh, ok. I'll keep it.
Justasgood Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 I think that is a safe assumption. Let me think. Oh, ok. I'll keep it. It couldn't have gone to a nicer gentleman. Enjoy it and bless us with lots-O-pics. Wear it in good health. Regards, Kurt.
ubiquitous Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Whoa. Nice purchase Pugs! That's a great Speedy! BTW, as an aside- Everytime I read your sig, I can't help but crack up: "I HATE PUGWASH" - Andrew, Trusty Time ROFLMAO
tmg Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 That's a beauty Pugwash, congrats and welcome to the Speedmaster club! I love the Tritium dial and patina. Believe it or not I'm contemplating selling my gen as it gets so little wrist time these past few years.
omegaunit Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Nice! One of my all time favs. I picked one up a few months ago, same vintage. Wear it well.
andreww Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 That's one beautiful movement! Nice shots. Now stop it, you are making me jealous!
JohnDorian Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Whoa. Nice purchase Pugs! That's a great Speedy! BTW, as an aside- Everytime I read your sig, I can't help but crack up: "I HATE PUGWASH" - Andrew, Trusty Time ROFLMAO So whats the story behind this?
Nanuq Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Oh, yes that's nice. VERY nice. One of the iconic pieces. Except they spelled it "Speednaster" on the back. Made ya look!
Jimster Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 It's a beauty and as the late, great, Chuck Maddox always said "one is just a start!" The old rule was if you talk to Chuck for more than 1/2 hour you end up buying the watch you were talking about! Don't stop now - you must have more ! ! ! Jim
dangerman Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Congrats Pug it looks great. How I do love the Speedy Pro. Man it's just got that special something...not just the moonwatch thing...a timeless classic. When my time comes my 1st big name gen will be the Speedmaster Professional. Alas for me I still have to keep waiting for a fair while longer. But I can imagine how it must feel to finally have something so long lusted for. So what's next? Do you still have a thing for the Aquatimer?
HauteHippie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Nice!!! I'm very jealous. Still look for an '89 myself.
Pugwash Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 So what's next? Do you still have a thing for the Aquatimer? Seiko Spring Drive is next. Got to get that out of my system.
redwatch Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Good lord that is gorgeous! It is an abosolute masterpiece! Congrats!
andreww Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 BTW, I never realized moonies had an anti-magnetic cover. I know some versions have a display back, so do they just leave the cover off, or is it just some models that have this feature?
Toadtorrent Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Congrats Pug. I was about to pull the trigger on that when I read that you scooped it already. Trusty hates Pugwash...but I hate Pugwash more. Just kidding.
lukes Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Congrats on a great watch Pug. Believe it or not, your photos of the rep Moonwatch a long time ago, fueled my interest in one. As you already know, I am now looking left and right for an accurate replica of it, but to no avail. If there was a good offer on a used one, I'd consider it very seriously!!! Wear it well!
Pugwash Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 Believe it or not, your photos of the rep Moonwatch a long time ago, fueled my interest in one. I believe it. It's what fuelled my own interest!
