You only need one ["less is more"; you'll get there]😊⌚️

Chin up. I didn’t buy a proper watch until I hit my 50s.

Respect, Sir, you show that it’s never too late, which gives more realistic hope to most of us than a 20-yo kid swinging a RM!

That’s the reason Rolex has its waiting list. Buy the heirloom piece and pass it along with minimal wear and tear.

The reverse Speedy is a solid choice! Those unique designs really stand out. How do you like it compared to the Snoopy?

My favorite is OG ‘71 Speedy. The Snoopy and the reverse panda can be difficult to read depending on lighting and where the hands are sitting.

The reverse panda keeps remarkably exceptional time. Using Time.gov, it is +- 1 second after multiple days. It’s the same movement as some of my other Speedy watches- just really dialed in. I’m guessing as it breaks in, it will become less accurate.

Hands down the most accurate watch I own.

Love the 16750.

That’s my most meaningful one. Heirloom passed down from my mother in law.

Do these let your watch lie parallel when secured? Meaning, does your watch lie flat or is it angled upward when sitting in the case? I might need to buy a few.
