The worm has turned and I love it

[mr_gray]

After buying a speedmaster as my first "expensive" watch I got obsessed with better water protection and bought a sub and then a fifty fathoms and I wondered if I'd ever wear my chrono again. But today with the sun out after some wet weather down here in Sydney I couldn't have imagined anything better. On NATO and as cool as a cucumber. Viva le speedmaster! Viva le acrylic crystal and awesome patina and stopwatches on the wrist.

Very happy I've still got it to enjoy.

Looks great Steve.

Which movement does it have?

This is the 861. It's from around mid eighties I think. Got it second hand from Japan. Great nick until I started beating it up. Got a service from Swiss max in Sydney. Movement looked incredible. Should put a clear case back on it if only to impress the kids!
