I’ve read quite a bit of conflicting reports on this topic so I’ve never risked it. I’m sure with a pressure test it’s fine. Either way it looks amazing, the bezel looks especially great!! Enjoy

321 it’s magnificent

It’s so hard to take watch photos. This is the most accurate capture of the faux patina.

I was surprised from watching a video on it that the clasp doesn’t have the extension

I’m glad this is the case, because photos of early deliveries has left me a bit “hmm/huh/meh.” Good to know in the metal may be a completely different experience.

Picked up mine as well earlier this week at the OB (Geneva, Switzerland).

Definitely a grail watch. The off-white of the lume is very subtle IRL and looks natural. I wouldn't even call this faux-patina. Plus I have been told that the lume on the original Ed White wasn't pristine white when leaving the manufacture back in the days.

Would be curious to see the prices in the next few months on chrono24, given the very low production numbers.

There it is on an OEM black alligator strap:

positive pressure versus negative pressures... there is NO COMPARISON when it comes to damage to physical elements.

Appears to be the very similar to the normal speedy but this sits so much better on the wrist. I don’t get it.

2+mm smaller is a good start


ps looking at the pics the halo effect appears to have been resolved bridging the divide between the sapphire vs hesalite debate.

dare i say the new speedy 321 is the perfect watch

Yes the milky halo is gone.

I'm talking about the thickness, but yes the lack of crown guards and the 19mm lug to lug is welcome for me. Near perfect watch.

I want another one so I can display one and wear the other... lol

I'm assuming your strap is an OEM 20mm. If so, any issues getting it onto the 19mm lugs of the 321?
