My perfect speedmaster would lose the crown guards (Ed White case), have a modern 1171 bracelet and an applied logo.

Crown guards make it hard to wind, which is one reason I sold my 3570.50 and bought a 60th Anniversary 1957 reissue. The Professional was more watch for the money -- still, no regrets.

How is the timekeeping, I want a hesalite crystal Speedy. I know it's not a chronometer but do they keep accurate time.

I'm grateful for having control over its accuracy in this way. |

Haha, yeah not too good. I know mine was regulated right before I bought it (ore-owned). The 1861 is a great movement and can be regulated to keep very accurate time. Just bring it to an independent watchmaker, most watchmakers love working on that calibre.

Had a "sapphire sandwich" and things I didn't like were: The size and how it wore (always felt it was too big for my wrist), the expense to service the movement (~$800+), and in the end just never bonded enough to keep it around. I tried for 3-4 years to like it as it is an icon and the space connection is undeniably cool. Finally I realized it was never going to happen and traded it off to my favorite Omega dealer for a 39.5mm PO. I have not regretted that decision for a second.
