So do I; that's why I went with this model instead of the other versions that use a crescent moon that 'cups' the number. The Speedy went through several versions after the Pro; the Mark series to 4, and then the two automatics. But this is the only one that to me still looks like a Speedy (i.e. case shape, protected pushers and crown, black face, speedy style hands) and yet is better in terms of what it can do and clearly evolved from the Mark series (subdial wedge hands, airplane date indicator). It's the ultimate evolution before the changeover to co-axial. There's a part of me that would be interested if they simply enlarged the face to a 42mm proportion; my old eyes do take longer to focus on the date wheels. But that's another story.

Given that the 7750 series movements can be regulated into COSC specs, this could have been a 'super' watch in my view, but since my watchmaker can do that for me, I don't complain. And for whatever reason, it winds a lot faster than the 1120 Seamaster I have.

Well, I say this because there are lots of Anons here who are looking for budget options, and I get that and understand it because I was too back when I was younger. For me, the Seagull 1963 was my first mechanical chronograph, and I still love it, but the price of a service on that watch is the same price as the watch...which means that it's essentially use it until it breaks. There comes a point where we get into better financial positions, and then we can consider better quality that lasts longer. The quality can definitely be felt in terms of difference, but we have to be serious about our financial future first.
