New Speedmaster in the house.........

Post by jimyritz » Mon Feb 08, 2010 5:52 pm

Well guys it took me a while but I finally pulled the trigger (is that a stupid cliche?) on a Speedmaster 3573.50 Sapphire sandwich...Sold my Bell & Ross BR02 and have to say it was well worth it. The watch wears differently than the PO--flatter and more comfortable...the clasp is shorter and the Speedie bracelet is very comfortable. It's has a true manual movement based on the Lemania 1863..A real top notch movement..Here are some quick pics, better ones to come later this week..

:cheers:
Mike

Congratulations, Mike! Dang, that looks great :headbang:
I`m not gonna lie, I`m very envious :twisted: I think you made a good call selling the B&R though, something special about a Speedy and the Sapphire Sandwich is just saaaaaweeeeeeeet :love:
