My new speedy!

The nice DHL man brought me my new speedy sapphire sandwich today. I expected it tomorrow, and don't have a screw driver here to size it, so it will just have to wait (although I guess I could put on the strap instead).

I had debated a bit on buying this (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=702223) but went ahead and pulled the trigger last week.

Congratulations! I think every collection deserves a Speedmaster. Such an icon and a blast to throw on NATOs or some leather straps. Wear it in the best of health!
