All apear to be sub 40mm but for someone looking for a smaller inexpensive auto watch it could be a good option

How long have you been looking for? I thought you mentioned looking for one a while back.

I’ve really been itching to pick up an oris lately. Maybe when my tax return comes in. I want to wear something sort of nice at my wedding.

you probably want more for it than I want to pay, but when I get serious about it I’ll consider it.

I have been looking at the hamilton khaki sunset for a brown leather strap to add to the collection. They stopped making it and not too many used ones for sale and prices for the new ones left are close to retail so I will keep looking.

I didnt think mine would get worn as much as it does but I think it’s been elevated to my every other day wear.

I GOT MY SPEEDY TRIPLE CAL!!!

Pics coming later, my good camera is out of commission for a while.

I am humbled however, i can’t figure out how to set this watch… too many complications ☹

shit camera… sorry:

![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc/Other/Watches/speedmaster%20(7).jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc/Other/Watches/speedmaster%20(7).jpg)

3220.50.00 model. The watch was sized for a small wrist, but i don’t think it’s ever been worn or really owned before.

I’m reading the manual and cannot figure out how to set the day, date, month… they make it impossible to do on ones one… need tools.

Also going to hunt down a Speedy double-hump leather strap with a stainless deployant…

Then going to make it a Sapphire sandwich… seeexy 🙂

thanks…

i will own an IWC before Q2 is out if all goes well… spying a few right now in fact.

converting the speedy to sapphire sandwich may prove extremely difficult however… if i keep it long term it’s a must… may have to custom it.
