Thank you very much. Through Chronos - my first ever purchase through them. Interested to see what our dearest British government will do re VAT/import taxes.

Once declared to purchase value we the poor U.K. consumer get hit with 20% VAT and then a bit more for customs handling. Depending on the watch and how it is declared, none or a bit of duty on the overall value.

Post pics when it arrives.

Thank you! I will do!

Gone are the good old days of the VAT margin scheme.... but sleaze BoJo negotiated a really great deal for consumers.

Mine hasn't climbed the price ladder nearly as high as the white but I like Speedmasters and was without a blue dial watch. Got it early on when they could be found well under retail. It will forever remind us how different the world was in 2020, so much so the Olympics were postponed a year.

Gorgeous watch!! Love it in blue colour too.

To be honest, I only learnt last week that there was a speedy Tokyo in panda! I accidentally stumbled upon it when looking for the Apollo 11 35th anniversary.... so I bit the market at the top price but hey... you only live once :)

How did you find out about the Tokyo speedy?

Amazing. The stainless pieces are really nice from this limited collection. Nice enough for me to move on from the past iterations. Congrats.

Great looking watch. I love this one most, but the blue is nice too and the silver/red rising sun really is a little different.

Beautiful! I wish the regular white dial Speedmaster has red lettering instead of orange. Nice pick!

I read about them on one of the forums no doubt. They were actually announved in 2018 and I believe started showing up in early 2019. They sold a small number of full sets with all 5 color schemes. From the start, the white dial was the hot ticket.

I’m surprised there are not many video reviews on YouTube, just a handful.
