Speedmaster 50th Anniversary

[criggs19]

I just sold my Gen Speedmaster 50th Anniversary Edition and sure do miss it but I had an offer that I just couldn't turn down. So I was looking around at the reps of the watch at a couple of dealer's sites. I was wondering, is there a Lemania hand winding version out there with the correct caseback? I have found on at Timeshops that looks pretty good but it is auto and I have found ones that are hand winding but have that damn clear caseback (why would they do that?) I like the one at Timeshops and at $108 bucks it's hard to pass up but I thought I'd ask around first. Thanks.

careful, 108$ means asian 21J movement

There is one version that is "asian automatic" but the other is Quartz, which I'm not necessarily against. But the point of my post is that I don't want an auto but a handwinding movement with the correct case back.

You and a good few of us on here bud!! I know several of us off the top of my head that would sell their Granny to get one!!

Best thing to do is buy a nice Lamania hand wound model and pay $108 for the caseback you want. Prolly cheaper than buying a caseback alone!

Thanks bud. I'll do that in a heartbeat but are we sure the caseback will fit?
