Very nice, srvrf!

How differently do you find the Speedy wears compare to the Daytona? (Question is open to others on the thread as well!)

My impression is that they both wear well and they are keepers. My wrist is about 6.5" so on the smaller side. This particular Speedy is 44.25mm and the Daytona is 40mm. But the lugs are shorter on the Speedy. Proportions seem pretty near perfect for the Daytona. The Speedy is definitely thick but I have no problem with it. So two very different watches but I'd guess they'd be closer if my Speedy were a 42mm Moonwatch

Yes you do! And a speedmaster pro to be more specific. IMO they belong to two different categories. Daytona in the nice watch category and the Speedmaster Pro in the LEGENDARY watch category. So it's like having two different kinds of watches. :)

IMHO, Price be damned, a Speedy looks better than a Daytona any day of the week, and the Moon watch is just iconic.

Everybody needs a Speedy. The 3573.50 was my choice. No regrets.

The Speedmaster Professional is in many ways the ultimate chronograph. I love the 3570.50 which I used to own (and likely will again), but I also love some of the variants (particularly when they don't have the inaccurate "the first and only watch worn on the moon" text).

Here's my Aventurine Moonphase Speedy Pro, my favorite:
Nice Speedy! Not a lot of love for the moonphase complication it seems.
