Team,

This one was offered to me and ... How to resist?

I'm in love with the perfect balance ... Even on the date indicator.

I will do a more detailed post ASAP.

Cheers,

Hi there,

Your very poetic description matches exactly the watch.

The "1957" (manual wind, no date) black dialed.
The Broad Arrow automatic (F. Piguet) black and white dialed.

But I never got one, manual wind, date (central) with moon phase. That is my first and moved to the "keeper" area.

Thanks,

Nilo

Twice! Had one and traded it off. Missed it so bad I got another one. A friend made me an offer I couldn't refuse and now I wish I did ;-(

Just arrived from my watchmaker and the Speedmaster is in a wonderful shape.

BTW: I loved your avatar.

Cheers,

Nilo

. . . "the third time's the charm."



PS - UN moderator Marcus H owns one, if memory serves correct.

To me, it was the forth time.

But the rule applies.

Cheers,

Nilo

The only way out ...........think that u r saving for 2915..

. . . one is never enough!



I'm not actively looking to add another at the moment, but of all the genres and sub-types, the one at the top of the vintage list would be a C-case Constellation or Seamaster. 

Cordially,

But this one is manual wind, and I can try to keep it running all the time and have the moon phase correct.

I believe that you didn't notice the black shell cordovan strap.

Cheers,

Nilo

you are quite right. i missed the strap, but an excellent choice. you know how i love a bit of shell cordovan :)

Fair price, nice quality, Germanic shipping efficiency.

Thanks,

Nilo

It is nice to have friends that offer you such beauties...

That's one of the most beautiful watches that I own or owned.

I love the perfect balanced of the four sub dials.

Thank you Alex.

Cheers,

Nilo

I am also wearing it as I type this.



So a big congratulations to you for finding one. Even if one day the new 9300 powered Speedmaster '57 may come with a moonphase, it will be very difficult to beat the aesthetics and balance of this one.

Yours looks in great shape. I didn't tried mine on the bracelet. Someday I will do. Yours looks cool. 

...the photo shown was taken on the day I first wore the watch. It was a recent NOS find after years and years of searching. The two NOS samples I found earlier were not really new. One was probably put on display for too long and subjected too excessive handling. The other came from a questionable source so I took a pass also.

This last one I found and bought is great and really new although it does have a small ding on the white gold bezel. You can see more of the watch here timeout.watchprosite.com /

Years back, the first minor scratch ... Horror.

I could not agree more!!

But I like on steel bracelete, looks bigger!

 

Tks!

I hate metal bracelets.

They don't go well with my underdeveloped skinny wrist.

Yours, that looks like an ogre ... fits nice.

Cheers,

Nilo
