I must confess I've been all about vintage Rolex sports models lately and mostly only wearing dive watches. I opened up my watch box and looked at my 3572.50 Speedy Pro today and thought its been a while since I even wound this thing, let alone worn it.

So I took it out, rubbed some polywatch on the crystal, used a microfiber towel to wipe down the caseback and lugs and wound her up. After just taking a thorough look at it, glaring into the beautiful 1863 movement and remembering all the history behind it. I quickly fell back in love.

I decided with the 3572.50 being discontinued and having both the perfect hesalite crystal and the sapphire caseback I plan on keeping this watch forever and a .321 will have to just join in.

Well I hope you guys forgive my foolishness of forgetting about wearing this legendary watch, but know its already back in rotation.

That really is the perfect Speedy. I love how classic, yet durable it is. I'm looking for a 3572.50 of my own. If you ever decide to part with it, let me know

I love the deployant on that. I am looking to get one with a black strap as well.

Thanks for posting

Awesome looking watch. I purchased my 3573.50.00 on a bracelet, however at the same time got the leather strap and deployant clasp as well.

There's just something about the movement.
