Credit Watchfid: Some will say the dial is too " rusty " for them. For me, it has a lot of soul, charm and character. And there is also the magic of this reference, a transitional Speedie made only for one year, one year and a half... My kind of Speedmast...
Think it might be a bit too far for me, I'd be concerned about how much further & how quickly it's likely to change. Lots of presence though Cheers JML
You see threads where someone has their fathers old watch and try to keep it the way they got it. For me I'd always restore it to how it was when HE got it and loved it. Not how it deteriorated over time. Different strokes.
