Thank you Bill and a happy new year to you I am born in the last week of June 1968. I might actually have to look for a second speedy from that period. What reference / calibre serial number should I look for? My Speedy will probably arrive in a week or t...

Lovely Speed! That is the perfect way to start the year! I have a Speedie 321 in my wishlist, so hopefully sometime soon I can fulfill that wish. Graham is a great friend and I am happy he put a little pressure on you to convince you of adding another gre...

 By: G99 : January 11th, 2010-15:22
i put no pressure on anyone, i'm just pleased when they respond to that lack of pressure and buy one Bimbeano pulled the trigger on one whilst we were skyping each other, but it still wasnt my fault best Graham

I meant pressure as a positive influence, Graham

Thankyou Alex I have actually been looking at Speedies and a 1968 in particular ever since Graham bought his 1964 some month back. So Graham has had pressure on me (direcct or indirect) for a while I almost bought one in Italy in November, but we couldnt ... 

I hope it gets clear by customs quickly

 
 By: AlexSunrise : January 12th, 2010-10:11
Hi, Hans! Thanks for your message. Your case is indeed a great example on how good things come to those who wait . You are without a doubt, incredibly patient. In my case I would be camping out at the customs office waiting for them to clear my parcel. Ho... 

Hans, as i said to...

 
 By: G99 : January 12th, 2010-10:26
Hans, as i said to Filip last night, be patient. customs take as long as they take and you cant force them to be quicker. how do you think i felt knowing my seamaster de ville was only 20 miles away, but couldnt get delivered due to the snow ? Alex i know... 

I am normally a very patient person..

 
 By: hans_jorgen_1968 : January 12th, 2010-14:36
..however I have called them on several occasions and emailed them a few times.. What holds me from going there is this weeks trip to southern Germany.. I cross my fingers for a nice speey in good shape for you Best Hans
