Here’s a trick for winding it, run your index finger UNDER the crown, along the side of your finger. It’s easier than actually trying to grip it, because of the semi-recessed crown.
@@instantalpha1484 thanks. I learned that winding an old Mark 2 speedy, the crown in those is even harder to use than the Pro. Now all you have to worry about is the thumb smudge on the crystal.
Great points regarding the exhibition case back, especially how little you actually look at it while on the bracelet. I’ve never heard that before. Wear in good health -
This is a strap monster, you want to see the movement swap out the bracelet...too damn heavy and you'll really enjoy swapping straps for variety--like a new watch each time 👍😁
nicccec i got the moonphase, i LOVE it...altho, to me, speedmaster is an almost perfect watch. theres SO many models I find myself dreaming of an entire collection of 10-15 speedys (ed white, full sedna gold or moonshine apollo anniversary, and snoopy are current wants
You’ve hit the best parts about owning a mechanical watch. Last but not least, when you’re gone, your watch can live on through someone else. Try that smart watch…
That's a great point and absolutely I will hand it on, there's also something special about watches that have spent some time on someone's wrist and has gone through major life milestones or experienced a decent bit of life. The stories it could tell ...
I really think you should consider the hesalite version.... the hesalite is warm, clear and gives an amazing stunning distortion when you move the watch to the side.. also the solid case back gives that timeless study feel and feels less tacky than see through.... just my opinion of course but please try that hesalite. You won't regret it
Clicking sounds?? Yes all mechanical watches can be heard ticking away. Strange that this was not "expected"?? Like someone never heard a mechanical watch tick before?
The new watches bracelet is available separately. $736 after TX tax Love it Wasn’t wearing the watch before and kept it as a safe Queen. The old bracelet made it sorta not my style. I did the same with my SMP and swapped the bracelet for the Ti bracelet from the new Bond watch. The bracelets I replaced worked fine on the Planet Oceans. IMHO !!

Great tip! I tried it today and speeds up the winding time significantly! Cheers and thanks!

I like the weight :) But absolutely, looking for straps as we speak. I have the black nato but looking for a brown leather strap.

Nice! At first I thought there were too many models but now I'm in the same boat as you ... The snoopy is is really sticking out to me right now.

Trust me when ur new to watches, see through case backs are a huge selling point. I'd buy the hesalite tho anyday
I've never noticed that clicking sound until you mentioned it
It's very subtle and I really enjoy it. Glad I could bring it up!

@@truxton1000 Yes, we know they make ticking sounds, on this particular watch the movement is very quiet.
You got yourself a ‘great’ watch, pal. Enjoy every tick and click
Thanks! I still smile when looking at it every day :)
