    I'm not sure I like the transparent logo better, but in any case they are gorgeous watches.

        @mvttryvn I've seen a white faced Speedmaster, and it was lovely. I would definitely pick it over the black dial version.

        Monochrome has just posted a hands-on with the watch if you need any more temptation in your life.

          I have a Speedy, but in all honesty, I just don't get the hype.

          I'm very attached to mine as it is a one-off. Built on a 321 movement with a Japanese Racing Dial.

          But I don't like it enough to be a daily wear.....

            It’s lovely and they’re cool watches in theory but in practicality I don’t use chronographs enough to justify that complication versus a diver with screw down crown and no buttons that can leak if submerged

            Think it, be it.

              I wore my Moon To Mars Speedy daily for a bit and enjoyed it, but it always felt like a fragile watch. I couldnt get that out of my head.

                        It's a jacket. Sample that never made it to production because we had massive issues in the wabash factory for a while......

                          It's beautiful! Your standard CPO buttons plus zip; what's not to like?

                                This is not mine. It came across my desk when @Giles sold(?) it back in Feb 2020. Wish I'd bought it now 🙄

                                  Credor, which is Seiko's top brand, has just released a reissue of the Seiko Locomotive. This was a seventies watch designed by a certain Gerald Genta.

                                  Credor Locomotive

                                  It's been upgraded from the original with a titanium case and automatic, rather than quartz, movement. Production is limited to 300 pieces.

                                  The asking price is $12,000 / €14,000, and Monochrome has more details, and there's a longer article at Hodinkee.

                                    Not my favorite but what a bracelet. The chamfering on each link is beautiful.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Those Credors are probably beautiful in person. But man the integrated bracelet stainless steel sports watch has become so played out. I feel like every single brand has their own version of the Royal Oak.

                                        To be fair this is a reboot of an old Genta design so it carries some legitimacy.

                                        Also the integration is hanging by a thread compared to those models. It’s very different looking to my eye because lugs aren’t coming out of the case.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          That Credor is an interesting piece. I wonder why they did not put a display caseback on it? Probably to try and keep it close to the original case design maybe??

                                          If they were going for as close to an authentic replica of the original as possible then why make it with an automatic movement? Sticking to a quartz movement would be closer to the original and Seiko (Grand Seiko) make some lovely quartz movements such as their 9F movement.

                                          Oh to be a fly on the wall on some of these design meetings.....

                                          There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.
