Speedy Pro love affair
After going through 5-6 speedies the past few years, this is the one I will finally keep. My daughter Ava also loves this little guy and thus, this one is a keeper for sure now! I think she looks lovely. What do you think?
Have a great week to all here! Best, Fred/NJ |

I have tired the Speedy on a strap several times in the past but have always come back to the bracelet. So, I think I will stay with the bracelet form. Also, when this specimen arrived, there is not one single scratch on the lugs from bracelet change so i would like to keep it that way! |

I tend to change the strap combinations up more frequently on the Pams.. those are easier to change for a lazy person like me! |

Fantastic! The Snoopy is a special piece and was for a long time my grail. Thankfully I came across Kringkily (George) who hooked me up with a mint example towards the end of last year. There are far pricier watches that I'm eyeballing for the future but I suspect none of them will make me as happy as the Snoopy does, it's just special.

It's great, most people don't know what the Snoopy is and are mildy curious and will either ignore or ask about it, but the people that do know it, well they either go gaga or give you that 'I know what you have on your wrist and it's cool' look ;). Wear it well my friend.
