Happy to hear you might be keeping it. I'm quite tempted to buy that blue strap myself, well done! 👍

It’s definitely grown on me.

Might also pick up the 80s anniversary black strap as I prefer the larger mid holes.

I still sometimes miss the Speedy, mainly pictures of it online & a watch that goes through generations.

But the Monaco is great and feels a bit more special on wrist.

The WoS Ltd Ed was unique, but wasn’t keen on the modern TH clasp and strap that didn’t taper.

Feel I prefer the ‘faux’ vintage look.

Saying that I’d have all 3 if I could.

Very cool that. Not a huge fan of the standard Moonwatch personally, but Dark Side rocks!

I love the standard Speedmaster and tend not to wear blacked-out watches (like the Drive Timer I had) but the Dark Side has always gotten me for some reason 😀 Probably the ceramic dial - it makes the watch so much more lively than 'stealthy'

I tried the ceramic Seamaster 300 before deciding on the Black and Steel version. That was the same, especially with the titanium hands and indices. I love how my Seamaster catches the light. Solid black in direct light, but almost chrome when angled. Very clever.

Finally the new Aquaracer WBP201B on the wrist Glidelock system works like a charm!
This, mega fan of, I be. Big congrats, the Aquaracer 300 is a killer piece. Agree about the clasp, works wonderfully.

Yep, I've got one of those too 😁 I had actually bought the No Time To Die first, but really did not enjoy wearing it as the crystal reflected so much you couldn't see the matte dial and hands ever. But I knew I enjoyed the 300Ms at that point so I bought the black dial and I really do think the ceramic wave pattern is among the most underrated dials in the market!

I thought the same when I tried that on. Shame really, as was others really nice.

The new 60th version appears to work a lot better in my opinion, but yet to see one in the flesh to fully comment.
