Your excitement comes through very clearly in your post which is great to read. I’m a big fan of the hesalite too, good choice. Every time I look at my Speedy’s dial I always think that this is THE best chronograph dial out there. It’s less so the sub dia...

This is probably the last new watch that I’ll ever buy. I recently retired from public service, so I researched the Speedy and tried it on many times before deciding it was the watch for me. I’m not disappointed with my purchase. Mark

The big box is really impressive indeed. So nice to have the loupe and the big "medal" with the Sea Monster logo. I wish you will keep loving and enjoying in the best of health! Abel

The big box is indeed “big.” A funny story related to the purchase was that the Speedy was delivered in a very nice wooden Omega box. I called the dealer and they accidentally shipped it in the wrong box. A few days later, I received the black “suitcase.”...

That’s a good story Pelican!! Lol!

 
 By: Subexplorer : October 18th, 2019-16:12
I much prefer the small wooden box. More practical and less space required to store it. But I should say the black suitcase is truly impressive! Enjoy watch and boxes so much!! Abel
