Morning y'all
Re: WRUW Tuesday July 29th
It will definitely be both of these today.

Diggin' the Speedy, along with that other 42 mm domed plexi of yours by Vulcain. Although one's a diver's watch and the other's a chronograph, it's remarkable how similar the two watches are when you think about it...

Nice Brice I need to try a Speedy at some point. Maybe the new 9300Jeep99dad wrote:Speedy Tuesday on a beautiful Heuerville Blackhawk handmade strap

Your AP is just awesome, though your BLue BPFF was quite nice too. It'd be a draw for me. Win win for sure

It's funny I had that conversation with someone else just this week. The are vey different yet feel very similar. The person was saying how I should sell the speedy in addition to the THC to fund the JLC as the speedy and Vulcain were similar

Personally, I'd keep both the Nautical and the Speedmaster.
For me, the similarity has very little to do with their looks, but rather that they've both retained their original designs that were developed in the late '50s (though the Vulcain wasn't released until the early '60s) and continue to use movements very similar to what they started with — even an identical design, in Vulcain's case.
Also, both are associated with pioneering achievements in their fields, though the Nautical's record-breaking 1961 dive obviously isn't nearly as well-known as the moon landing. With so many meaningless and derivative watches out there, it's noteworthy that two of the best-looking originals from over fifty years ago are still in production and essentially unchanged.
I think that each one is distinctive classic that's worth having not only for watch-nerd reasons, but also because they actually look good.
