Re-Paired

[jtiis]

So, I recently put up my Panda Speedy for sale - but then a buyer emerged that only wanted the watch with the original (black) dial. So, I kep the Panda dial/hand - and in a strange turn of circumstance came upon a different LE Speedy at a reasonable price. So, I had the movement serviced, case cleaned up, added a display back that I got for a song. Strapped her to a new croc strap from a nice seller over at TZ and ... bam... good as new.

 

Happily re-paired with her "sister" in blue.

 

Thanks for endulging the thrill of having them back together.

Thanks. Just noticed their movements are almost opposites. The LE movement is Silver with gold highlights... the 861 copper/gold with silver highlights.

Stunning pieces you've got there mate!

Gorgeous, truly gorgeous. I especially love that fact that the panda dial has the date of the Apollo 11 landing

And no matter how much he turns the crown, the date just won't change!

69 is a great place to be stuck.

those are beautiful!! I had and old Speedy Pro several years ago, hardly ever wore it, I believe that if It had the Panda dial, it would still be here.

Love the look. I myself just picked up a gen 145.022 last week and will be my daily beater.

Good for you pam007. My Panda is a 145022 also. As a daily wear they are SO comfortable, nice low-ish profiled and are rugged as nails. Grab a display back if you can, that beautiful movement deserves to be seen (especially in boring meetings!). I can hook you up with the German makes of a nice sapphire model if you're interested.
