The warm metallic tones and texture of the Aqua Terra are really something.

The GMT Master was kind enough to upload his review of the speedy:

Sadly, it's not in production anymore. But you can find pre-owned pieces or if you are lucky, a AD may have a NOS stashed somewhere for sale

Model: 2803.30.37 (they come in Steel bracelet as well)

That red tipped seconds hand just transforms the Speedy into something even more extraordinary. The Apollo coin sub-dial makes the Snoopy edition look like a toy.

Perfect choices. CONGRATS! I have both the Speedy and the 18K Rose Gold Aqua Terra myself. Yes, it is a difficult choice.
