Mark Knopfler / Speedmaster

I love me some Mark Knopfler and stumbled on to this video on youtube

Mark Knopfler on Guitars

He is wearing a Moonwatch throughout the video. I didn't know he was a speedy fan. Neat!

Him kissing his '58 Les Paul in reverence was great too. It's hard to get a more iconic watch / guitar pairing than that! Lucky bastard

What a great and influential guitarist. Straits are one of my favorite bands.

Love the sound of that red "Sultans of Swing" Strat...and the "Romeo & Juliet" steel one.

No, he is an Exceptional, perhaps Peerless musician!

I found that video about 2 months ago and noticed the Speedy as well.

I think he's worn it for years.

Does anyone know how old it is?
