Got a Speedy Pro Today!

Can't say it's anything rare, but it's mine. :)

It's an important watch for me. Outside of work, I'm an amateur astronomer and I'm very passionate about astronomy, cosmology, and science & skepticism in general (especially science education.) I've been wanting one of these for years.

Close decision back in the spring between this and my DJ41. I'm proud to say that now I own both. Cheers. :)

Congratulations Stargazer735

I’m an amateur astronomer myself and I love the moon history of the Speedy Pro. It’s the main reason I bought the Speedy.

Congratulations! The Speedy Pro is an incredible piece that can go anywhere and do almost anything. The added bonus of your connection with astronomy makes this a perfect match.

I just ordered a Speedy Pro (Hesalite) on a black leather strap, (I can only wear the oyster bracelet anymore) going to be used in the "dress watch" category for me. Very excited.

Thank you!

I think most can be had brand new, box and papers, for about ~$3,500, if you search well enough. Some good deals pop up in the Classifieds here.

Good luck!
