Congratulations

[emagni]

The quality of this video is the closest that I have seen in terms of what the new FOIS is like in person under certain lighting.

Nothing beats the legibility of the EW

Nice lume.

[ap1]

FYI, ew has better brighter lume

It’s a beautiful watch! The decision to add one to my collection is contingent on where this settles on the secondary market

Congrats. I saw my 1st one in the metal at a Topper event Friday. I like it a lot. I really like the bracelet.

Looks pretty good on a strap too

I am also waiting for the watch to settle a bit and see what the price is in a few months or after the holidays. 6K would work.

I think this will be full rrp for at least a year.
Very popular watch

Fairly certain this will join the collection once I see one in person.

When it does happen, it'll be the 4th time I've tried some iteration of the Speedy but I think it has what it takes to actually remain in my collection! The whole "fauxtina" doesn't bother me, as I see it as just another design cue that differentiates it from other watches, including ones in my possession.

Very nice

I like it very much but I would like to change those polished seconds, minute and hour hands to EW/Speedy pro white baton hands. Then it would be perfect in my opinion and legibility would be much better.

I guess if you were so inclined you could change the hand set, but it’s supposed to be a tribute to the CK2998 which had the polished hands.

I actually really like them, but it’s certainly not as legible for sure - that said, I don’t find it any issue

No way. This will be a 4-5k watch on the used market in 1-2 years. For the next year itself, maybe 6k.

I think you’ll be waiting a while for 4-5k. Much like the white dial, I don’t think they’ll flood the market and they should hold up - better than the standard speedy at any rate.

I may be biased, but anyone cross shopping this to the pro should consider.

1. This is better finished in general
2. Have a look at the dial - it cost more to produce and is far better looking
3. The case is the same as the E/W, and better finished than most boggo speedies
4. The sapphire is 100% better with no ring and a lovely distortion.


That said it’s a chunk of change. Thoughts?

Good to hear from you my friend, hope you’re doing great
