Need Speedy Help
I am considering trading in (selling) in my 1978 Speedy Pro to get a newer Goldie Speedy. The Goldie I'm looking at is offered just as the head, without a bracelet, unfortunately. So I have some questions for you Speedy guys:
1. What is your opinion of the Gold vs. SS Speedy (pros and cons and general thoughts)? 2. Do any of you know where I would be able to source a gold bracelet for the Speedy should I decide to make the switch, and how much it would cost? 3. Anyone have a gold speedy with or without bracelet who would want to post pics? I appreciate your input. -Vital |

gold speedy pro? at any rate a gold speedy pro would be a limited edition in some sense. A bracelet is very very expensive since it's gold you're talking about.
1. Both are great wear materials but you have to love which color would match what you want to pair it with. As for valuation, a gold speedy will always be worth a bit more than a SS version. Especially a limited edition. 2. You might check with ebay as I did see a gold bracelet offered at 4500 or BO but that is just asking price. 3. I don't personally own one but there are some examples on ebay. gluck |

That is the one. If I can pull it off, I will, of course, share. Also, if you happen to see any links for bracelets for sale, please give me the heads up.. Thanks again
