Incoming: Speedy Reduced

[Token74]

Hi guys

I have recently sold most of my watches and have been left with a Rolex Sea Dweller 116600, a TAG Microtimer (kept for sentimental reasons) and a G-Shock Riseman Black.

I wear the SD for almost everything and it is already showing some signs of wear; I'm quite happy to have a few knocks and bumps, after all, some of the appeal of Rolex Sports watches is that unlike other premium watches, they look better with a few battle scars.

The TAG gets worn once in a blue moon just because I think it should now and again.

I wear the G-Shock for really heavy duty stuff and sports.

I wanted to add a watch that could be worn (a) when an understated classic is required and a Rolex may be a bit bling and (b) when there is a chance it will get lost, stolen or severely damaged (i.e. when drinking, holidaying, and hunting).

The Speedy is a classic in my opinion and whilst the Speedy Reduced is not very popular amongst the WIS community as it's not the Moonwatch, it fits my wrist perfectly and ticks all the boxes.

So now I have one which I'm thrilled with.

My question - getting to the point at last - is about the lug width. I have read a lot that they are 18mm apart but my 18mm Nato is a bit squashed, it feels more like 17mm. Does anyone know the official width?

Hello

I got mine for exact same reasons. I think its one of the most underated watches out there. Love the reduced. Just the right size for my wrist. Lug width is 18mm. Here are mine.

The white Sub-dials look fantastic.
