Looks good....I love mine..

My biggest gripe on the Speedy is the excessively recessed crown. To wind it every morning you are generally only able to get a grip on the outer sharp edge.

But that is a small gripe........

Congrats on a great watch!

On a different note... I love your wallpaper! Feels kinda good to see my work being used as a wallpaper by somebody other than me.

Thanks for all the kind words! I am loving this watch soooooo much. However, last night, i started checking its accuracy, +3 sec after 9 hours of sitting face up on my night table, not as good as i have hoped. I will check again when i get home tonight to see how it did while i was wearing it for the day. How are other's Speedy pro in terms of accuracy?

Are you kidding? That was the best wall paper i could find for the moon watch! Good job! Hope you didn't mind me using it....=P

I do like that model.

My son's speedy sandwich runs fast about 9 seconds/day.

really i went the other day and toyed with a few speedies in my local AD and i found that the crown on this limited edition was more kinda resistant than on the other speedy, the regular one but then i think this is cuz it was brand new and the other one had been toyed with for a while...i think it will break in in a while..lovely watch :)
