New Speedmaster!

Just picked this up today. Pardon the pun, but over the moon. What a watch!

A timeless classic.
Some people may say that the look is somewhat bland. But having multiple straps to change it up a bit should silence the naysayers.
Looks really good on the leather.

That's right, it's the latest reference with the massive box.

I agree too, playing with lots of different straps makes this watch so much fun and so versatile.

Great watch! My Dad bought his new in 1975, and I really enjoy wearing it.

I'm late to the game here, but congrats! It's an iconic watch. Glad to see you're already wearing it with other straps.

Dlanz, where did you buy it?.

I am in Essex and the watch is £3400 at the AD in Lakeside.
Iconic Watches can do it at £2550.
That watch is my next purchase.

Congrats, and wear it in good health sir..

Thanks. I can highly recommend WatchObsession. They offer a fantastic, very credible service, excellent communication, very competitive prices and a great selection of straps. Check them out.
