Thank you so much dear Bill for your kind comments and good wishes. Patience is a virtue! That´s a big truth. And we collectors must learn to cultivate it along our long and meandrous journey of collecting.
Best cordial regards, Abel
Sharing a very special Speedy I had been hunting for a long time…
Hello dear friends! It is my pleasure to share this piece which has arrived to my wrist just a few days ago after several years trying to find one of this special variant for my collection. It is a Speedmaster reference 105.012-66, “CB Case”, Caliber 321....
Fabulous ! …
Congratulations, it’s a special Speedmaster and a perfect addition to your collection. Best regards Captain
The watch is quite a globetrotter, it seems 🌏👍🏻
Huge congratulations on your latest addition and what a great complement to your collection 🎉🎊🎈

Thank you so much for your kind comments and greetings! Cheers. Abel
Thank you so much dear Larry. Yes condition is very good specially…
… considering its age and miles travelled! Cheers! Abel
Ahh! Yes, dear Larry! This kind of pieces makes us think how much we would love to know about their past. I´m enjoying it so much and building my own story with it.
A bit has been already written with the long hunt and the long trip it made to reach me. Thank you so much for your kind messages. Abel

Here you go! Like fabrizio Romano says 😂 ...
Hello BIDI! Thank you for your kind message and for sharing your favorite Speedy. I own same model as well and can easily unerstand your love for it.
This is a modern variant around the classic design with the charming detail of Buzz Aldrin´s footprint on the moon. A beautiful Speedmaster no doubt. Keep enjoying and loving it so much! Cheers, Abel
Congratulations
What a beauty and thank you for all the information on this rare model.
Congrats Abel!
Based on the details you described, does not sound easy to locate one and happy for you to finally get it after a long search!
Thank you so much dear friend S F for your kind message. Yes, it was a long hunt. Never could find it here in my local hunting grounds, and I missed a couple of opportunities...
... when a CB Speedy appeared in Europe and it is not easy for me to buy through mail from my Country. Almost impossible I would say. I was lucky this time and the deal could be happily completed. Best cordial regards, Abel
That’s an amazing story about an amazing effort to get something special.
Amazing watch as well! Congratulations, amigo.
Muchas gracias amigo Michael!! Thank you so much for your kind message and greetings. I feel it was well the effort,. Now this watch has an unknown history behind but a nice story...
... related with me now. It´s rare lugs detail and this story adds to the joy of owning it. Thank you again for your kind message. Best cordial regards, Abel
Such a rare, collectible and beautiful piece
had to find the perfect home where it would be welcomed as it deserves and an owner who would fully understand and appreciate it. Huge congratulations, Abel. This CB case Speedmaster is exactly where it belongs on your wrist. And it looks wonderful. Cheer...
Very cool
I admire the Speedmaster collectors and the eye for details that make it such a wonderful sub-genre. Well found!
Thank you so much Watch Commission for your kind message. It is said that Devil is in the details and this Speedmaster variant is a good example of that.
I feel very lucky with this catch after so many years of hunting for it. Best cordial regards, Abel
I believe Imran owned a CB in the past . . .
. . . but let it go along the way. I've seen a fair share of the rare Speedmaster types in person, but never a CB. Congratulations, my friend. I'm very, very glad for you. Warmest, Art
Hello dear Art. Thank you so much for your so kind greetings. Interesting to know that Imran owned one CB some time ago.
Captain Scarlet shared his great condition CB Speedy in a post some time ago. I wonder how many of these CB Speedys are still around and their owners haven´t paid attention to this subtle difference in the lugs of their watches and much less to the maker´...
Huge congratulations Abel, and thank you for educating us about this special piece!
Isn't it wonderful when the hunt comes to a successful end?
Thank you so much for your kind message CR!
My pleasure to share the information I gathered about this Speedmaster variant. Yes! It is a wonderful feeling when the hunt ends successfully after a long searching. Best cordial regards Abel
This is one of my favs and I’m happy I got it.
Here you go! Like fabrizio Romano says 😂 ...
