Speedy PRO

Post by 425ranger » Fri Nov 05, 2010 9:11 am

I went through a minor SOC change.... and sold the Speedy CoAX. I was just so much invested in a daily wear watch. So I bought a few watches for bang around duty. This older Speedy was very inexpensive and requires only a new bezel (enroute). I don't think I'll go all in and refurbish it. The 42mm size wears very well indeed, tight and close to the wrist.... the UTS being the opposite.

I now know why this model has stood the test of time. It's excellent.

Looks good Bill. :thumbsup: And getting one of those and being able to say "inexpensive" in the same sentence is a good thing. So did you get a new or used UTS 600m chrono? Robert's pvd version is mighty tempting. :drool:

Nicely done. I'm right behind you, Bill. I've decided if I'm gonna get a chronograph, it's gotta be a Speedy Pro.
