Very nice presentation ....

To me, the Speedmaster goes beyond the usual "iconic" designation. Is a true mystery how a watch, with so few changes, keeps attracting everyone. Thanks Mark. Nilo

Nice report, thanks for sharing it!

Just guessing randomly. Congratulations anyway it will be something important for sure. Cheers, Mark

Hihi, almost!

The first moonphase

I see now what you meant :) Congratulations Speedie, it is quite unusual with that feature and as it is a watch that has travelled far away I think it is appropriate. Cheers, Mark
