Small by todays standards...

I cant remember the last time I shared anything from my collection so I thought I would post a few images of my Speedking (I am no photographer).

I picked this up a few months back originally on a leather strap but our own Adam was nice enough to help me source the bracelet.

I was concerned at first that it would be too small however after wearing it I realized it was fine.

Anyways, enjoy the awful pics and thanks for being such a great community!

I am also wearing my 1002 34 mm. No need for compensation and very comfortable.

I love that!

One of these days I'm going to get a 6098 with a similar dial.

Yeah the "it's too small" comments got old with me about 3 years ago. It's refreshing to see sub 40mm pieces slowly inching back.

Love your piece!

Drew, it's nice to finally see that bracelet on your beautiful Speedking! Glad you are enjoying the bracelet (which was too large for my wrist as it was):

Here is mine, which I was wearing the other day:



And the girls I was walking at the time (I forget what was absorbing their attention!)...
