letting go of my ‘57 speedmaster 60th anniversary, after trying on the new 3861 hesalite, does this seem like a sensible idea? Would appreciate your kind thoughts? Thank you

btw...is there such a thing we could call ''sensible'' in our hobby ;-) Best, mahesh.,

killer watch although the OEM bracelet is a little too polished and sparkly, hence I almost always switch to calf leather and nato. However the 3871 proportions are very confusing to me, when I placed it on my wrists its wore like a 40mm and so I felt bad... 

The bracelet makes it a great adaptation, it was 25 years that the bracelet was somehow off. Having tried it, I can confirm it is the best of modern fit and vintage taper/look. I cannot really speak about the new movement but it looks like a welcome evolu...
