Got the email! Explorer I 40mm vs. Speedy Pro

[0nly5iv3Digits]

New speedy hesalite w/updated bracelet is a no-brainer imo, especially at 25% off retail which you can find fairly easily. Just don't, for the love of God, pay retail....

As far as chrono's go, Speedmaster > Daytona (and I own one)... actually have owned both.

As far as watches, generally speaking go... Speedy >>> Exp I imo.

Verdict - Get a speedy. The new bracelet is phenomenal. Glad they got rid of the old "chonker" lol

why not both? great watch on their own

Speedmaster. Would get it over the explorer purely on the merits of the bracelet alone. It articulates very well around the wrist and the comfort is superb.

Can you explain this ?

What do you mean you had 5 or 6 speedmasters ?

Did you lose a lot of money ? Did you buy a speedy for a vacation, use it, and then sell it ?

It all depends on what you really want, buy the Explorer first, then Speedy.

If you're looking for a rational explanation I can't help you. I wanted them, then I didn't.

Have both. Never wear my Speedy anymore.
