Outstanding.
I have taken the metal bracelets off all of my Speedies. I think the watch looks much, much better on a leather band, especially the black leather band with bold white stitching.

Very nice! Both of my Speedys saw very little bracelet time. That watch rocks on a wide variety of straps :thumbsup:

G, Dave, both great choices. Those black straps really do work on the Speedys. Although there's nothing wrong with the bracelet on the right hand Speedy, Dave. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clap: :clap:

That's my 1965 Pre-Pro, Pre-Moon "Ed White" model Speedy. It came with the original bracelet, which is really rare, so I kept it on. However, I prefer a leather bracelet on my Speedy, so my 1966 Speedy gets more wrist time.

Just a theory.
:justkiddi
And why are there no stars in the sky? And why in such a heavily contrasted lighting environment are objects close to the camera but facing away from the light source still well lit?
Just a theory... but it looks like a sound stage from a certain Kubrick film. :thumbsup:

Hi David,
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-5/26703/SpeedmasterinwoodenboxDec10th2003.JPG
Here is a very rare CK 2998 the "Wally Schirra" model that I owned. Wally was the first man in space hence the 2998 was the first Speedmaster in space.
It had the original hands and was a beauty.
