I've always lusted after an Italian speedy, so this is great to see pics of on the forum! It's possibly even better given the movement, sapphire case back and hesalite up front. Looking forward to lots in the NCWOTD thread going forward. Enjoy!

Well I thought it was fairly obvious that yours was a modern Speedmaster Professional case and that they weren’t showing due to the angle of the pic. :)

Either that or you had a unique case (the shape of the lugs being the clue that it was a standard case). :wink: :roll:

Yep Indeed, the case on mine was replaced by the sapphire sandwich in 2003/4. I actually prefer this because of the hesalite front
👍👍👍

So much to like about this one. The Heaslite/Sapphire sandwich, the white dial, the rarity. Wear this one in good health.
