Lovely pickup mate! One of the best. Now all it needs is a nice strap. Throw that metal thing in the bin :)

Lovely combo you have there. I delight in seeing the leather straps on Speedy’s. I may consider it, although I’m partial to water resistant straps on my watches.

Thanks - you shouldn’t. But you really should.

@Hanski lovely write up mate. This was also my first high end rep. Great watch. Be warned now that you have one gen... You will want more!

One question - did you ask elady to send via EMS or was that there standard shipping method?

I just saw this photo in the Gen Wrist Shot Thread and though to myself, "This fucker's teasing me."

The very next thread I click on is this one....

You got me!   

Don't think you would ever regret buying one but even if you do they are pretty easy to flip and if you get it for a good price might you even make a few quid

Flipping is not the plan - I will get one 100% at some stage and when I do, it will be a keeper. I hinted to my missus that I wanted one so I'm going to wait till Xmas in case she gets me one, if not, I'm going to spank eLady.

Apart from the massive crack or whateverthefuck in the crystal at 4 o'clock, it's awesome.

Drinking whilst shopping again?

I'm waiting to see if my missus gets me one for Xmas. If not, I might have my first experience of a lady eLady.

I did tell her I'd love one a while ago. The thing with my missus is there is a chance she'll get me something amazing like that - but there are similar sort of odds that she'll literally get me nothing. Such is my wife.

Hi Speedmaster Legends,

Ref3570 is a safe place, innit? Thoughts on this - Condition, Price? Etc. https://mall.elady.com/OMEGA-Speedmaster-Professional-Steel-Moon-Watch-357050-BF505895.html

Cxs

 

Agreed, looks good except the crystal. If your comfortable replacing, it’s not that much money ($100ish).

I hope she gets you one! That’d be so cool!

Thought I'd have a look at elady to see how much my Breitling Heritage 46 had lost in value since I bought it.  They have one on offer for £300 more than the current UK price new from an AD, and £500 more than I paid.  So you can't just assume that buying from there is always great value.

They also list all their Speedys (all watches?) on Chrono24 at the same price - so agreed, not that cheap. Chrono24 prices in fact!

Speedy is on my list too, mostly due to the fact, that they haven't bothered to make a decent rep yet. But I have a hunch, that VSF will make a big announcement about a game changing rep one day after I buy a gen... 

They're 4700€ for the hesalite version over here in Slovenia. How much are they where you guys live? I think I could get the usual 18-20% off though.
