Incoming bnib tintin!!!
I was really excited to come across this piece. It was listed for almost a year in a local non watch forum and i had messaged the seller last year some time. He never responded and I then saw the ad bumped about 2 weeks ago with a sizable discount and picked it up. Funny part was I was ready to pay initial asking price but he never got back to me

Not sure if I'm gonna deflower it or not just yet. Really cool piece in person, way better than photos.

Wow that's wonderful. I sure like it over the standard speedy. I wished I had a crystal ball when they were selling cheap.

I've never been fast enough [ :-)] to secure a special speedy

And just how rude would I be if I cane out and asked you how much you ended up paying???
Please feel free to PM me, but I’d love to know.
(Mainly to cry that I probably just recently paid too much! But, it’s living what you got, that makes the difference, right??)

Thanks and BTW, ... congrats!!! Awesome piece!!

Congrats! I saw one of these at a local dealer recently. That dial really pops I think if I were to ever get a speedy this would be the one
