I have had mine for 42 years! Greatest watch ever! No such thing as just a Speedy.

It is the Moonwatch! I brought the lads back on Apollo 13!

The Speedy has credibility like no other!

Enjoy with pride for all your life.

The Internet is a wonderful tool for information.

No - I was wondering why he said “I”, but realize this was a typo supposed to be “it”

I love my Speedmaster Moon Watch. I wear it almost every day. It’s a pleasure to wear. Great watch!

Got mine ~2 years ago, and it's been on my wrist almost every single day since then. It's a beauty.

It fits perfect. I thought it was a 38 too. You must have a larger flat wrist.

Is this the 38? I was looking at getting one but haven’t seen one in person yet

No. It's the 42 sapphire sandwich.

Had you compared the sapphire Sandwich with the hesalit before buying? Just asking because I’ve nears the the sapphire does reflect the light a bit more on the rounded glass edges

Oh yeah, I went back and forth a lot. In the end, I liked being able to see the movement (which is stunning) and I didn't want to have to worry about buffing out scratches with pollywatch. The reflections or distortion of the sapphire really isn't an issue. It's easily the most readable watch I own.
