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
Sharing a very special Speedy I had been hunting for a long time…

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

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!
