69 Speedy added to the Collection
69 Speedy added to the Collection
Its not the best example but within my budget Im happy. I love vintage and having been bitten by the Speedmaster bug after considering the 69 that Stewart had for sale a while back I needed an early example badly. Anyway the experts will observe the obvious faults but in general I am really enjoying the presentation. The stepped dial is a treat.
I need to tone down the lume on the replacment hands to match the patina on the dial and a more uniformly worn bezel would make me happy but on the Bulang and Son leather nato I really like the vintage vibe.
Dont know why it took me so long to get on board...

That looks great! Congrats. The Bulang nato is perfect. If I ever buy a vintage Speedy it would be the stepped dial version.
