Really loving the Speedy's versatility when it comes to pairing with straps.

Inspired by our photo guru, bro cichlid. Here is my humble contribution. Taken with handphone and edited in mobile lightroom. :angel:

Nice bro....besides using background full of texture, can also try white and without shadows.

Is the crown screwed down and is it a chore to keep winding it ?
I read it's quite difficult to wind the watch as the 2 chrono pushers are in the way??

Remember Steinhart has similar design too iirc, running valjoux 7750 movt, similar as IWC.

Don't really like Steinhart's chrono designs...recently discovered Fortis brand, their watches look very nice to me. =:p

To adjust the needles, the crown has to be popped out. But winding the watch itself is a straightforward affair. One just needs to wind away with the crown popped back in.

At first I found it a bit hard to wind the watch, not because of the chrono triggers but the crown is pretty small. But now I've gotten the hang of it, it's pretty easy, and quite satisfying I might add.

Thanks, it's such a stylish and iconic watch.

Perfect for most of our wrist sizes. I have this on a Hirsch Mariner strap and it's really nice to wear.

Classic combo!

Placed an order, can't wait for it to arrive :s12:

Looks good on a camo strap too! Something different.
