B Maybe its a UK phenomenon but they are called 0% Purchase cards You get (credit rating permitting) a limited time window to make purchases and an extended period of 0% (& no fees)on them (eg 6 months / 36 months) If you are paying a merchant there is a bite to be had out of that apple (the fees the merchant pays) be it interest-free, cash back/ whatever If you are loading on a pre-existing debt there is no apple to bite...so you pay some fees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuvolablue 2,051 Posted December 1, 2018 Great thread Op. With most other watches I would say buy the best rep you can or get one modded to look closer to gen. But with the Speedy you can't do that.... The dial spacing and case shapes are way off gen. I had the same problem with the couple of speedy reps I had.... They were just not close enough, so I went out and bought the genuine. It really is a great watch.Anf if you need further persuading, then watch the film First Man..... I did that last night, and I'm looking forward to putting my Speedy on the wrist again today because of it! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted December 1, 2018 Well it may be cliche but my dream watch is a Rollie Sub, I saved for over two years and have been to the AD's on three different occasions and once I had that Rollie in my hands and the cash available ready to be spent that Rollie just didn't seem so good and on each occasion I left without the watch and still don't own a Gen. I did the same thing when the Black Bays first came out and after waiting months for the first ones to come in at the AD it was the same thing, once in hand the Gen just didn't live up to my expectations. Sometimes we let our emotions and desires delude us as to just how much we want (need) something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am determined to add the gen to my collection. I figure 10-11 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bidle 0 Posted December 7, 2018 Always and still have a strange relation to speedmasters, somehow they look great, but also not. Actually I prefer the vintage pre-moon versions and the FOIS model. If I were you I would definitely try it on a couple of times before buying it. If it sticks to your mind, just go for it! Looking forward to read if the gen made it! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
