An excellent review Dave.
I bought one for my son and had the chance to wear it on occasion. Winding it was one issue I had....that little crown is hard to get a hold of at the end of the wind. The other was the non-hacking movement but I could stop it with a little back pressure on the crown.

Takes about a week of solid ownership for your fingers to toughen-up and get used to the wind. I'm on my second Speedy Pro and had to re-experience it all over again. Once the induction period ends your fingers gain that muscle memory and winding is a joy. It's a strange evolution... Unfortunately, it sometimes scares off would-be buyers but I promise it magically disappears.
