^ really underrated for some reason. Platinum bezel, polished centre links, oyster case… what’s not to love?

Watching Band of Brothers again and fallen down a rabbit hole of looking into the watches that the soldiers wore. Anyone got an Elgin or Bulova A-11 that were issued to US soldiers from that era?

This Japan Racing (2004) has become my favourite Speedy from the few I own. Prices gone a bit mad on them.
Was so close to pulling the trigger on a new ref this morning at the airport but am going to do some reading and go vintage.
Let me know how you get on mate, am going down the same route.
Reckon prices will fly in a couple of years.

Same, been watch this one recently, but need to try one on really. Reckon 36mm will be too small for me

Timor did a rerelease of their dirty dozen watch, which I almost bought. But, I think a major part of the appeal is the fact a soldier actually wore it pon road/trench
