nice watch. i personally prefer patina, but its all down to taste.

there is a point where dials and hands are beyond redemption and then new replacements are better, but i try to keep it original where possible.  the only thing i'd consider changing on my speedy is its bezel and thats highly unlikely.

strangely these dials dont seem to get foxing on them like seamaster and constellation dials which is a good thing as unless something drastic happens they should patinate evenly. if you took away the tritium my dial would look like new with not a mark on it.

one of the best and most characterful chrono's out there, but i dont think i'd buy a new one unless it was the moon to mars edition. i really like the Olympic 5 rings, but there are too many useless functions making up the rings. instead of 1-7 days it should have gone for 1-6/th seconds.

i wonder how many speedy owners there are on this forum? (we asked this question about the Freak and didnt get much of a response, not surprising really as less than 500 were ever made)

best
