I bought this Speedy new around about 1976, it still keeps good time and is a keeper. It's a bit bulky and I very seldom wear it but I don't think I could part with it.

I recently purchased the Automatic Speedy. Its more convenient than the Professional IMO, even thought purists may disgaree with me.
Its quite nice on a leather strap and I gave it to my father to wear. He seems to enjoy it :) |

If you know where the pictures are hosted, e.g. Photobucket.com, copy the link where the pictures are and before the link put [img] then the link, then[/img] at the end. Hope that makes sense. :D |

Hey AJ that's a nice vintage Speedie and looks in good condition as well.
I am not much into chronograph watches, but I am a bit curious about this one.
At the 12 o'clock end there is a two hand minidial marked up to 24hrs.
Is that a dual time function or a 24hr timer?
What is the movement? ETA or Valjoux?
Also, is this model available to buy new?

I've always liked Speedies and Seamasters (would those be Seamies).
I think that if I goa nother watch now-days, I'd ned to get my head examined.
(Besides, the wife watches me too closely anymore)
That's a good looker .....I'd have to carry glasses with me all the time though...
