There’s a few clutzes in the family!

I have the manual wound Speedmaster Professional moonwatch 35705000. My SD is the new one. I swore my SD 4000 was a keeper but then got offered such a premium for it that I let it go.......regretted it almost immediately. I was sceptical about the new SD initially, particularly at 43mm, but it wears very well with the wider bracelet. Still not totally convinced about the date magnifier but quite easy to remove if it offends me that much longer termYou got the same watches? Is it the exact same SD and then which version speedmaster?
Nice. How accurate is the depth gauge? Just curious.

Have seen those, and would love to have one to go with my Favre-Leuba Bivouac, with barometric altimeter.I do have a vintage diver watch with a depth gauge complication which I think is quite cool.
Having spent a year on and off restoring it I wouldn’t dare take it in the water, sadly. It’s a simple system with a capillary tube and I’d expect it to give a pretty good approximation but not accurate enough for a real scuba diving. It was encrusted with silt and salt when I got it so was well used for a while.
I have original box and sales receipt from 1968. The shop where it was sold, in Italy on the Adriatic coast, is still there, owned by the same family.
Maybe the first owner had a Maserati as well . Or more likely a Fiat.
10,007? That has to be the least limited of any “limited edition“ item I’ve every heard of! One for the programme “When the marketing dept goes rogue”. By that parlance, every Maserati built in their first 90 years of existence was a limited edition.I'm toying with the idea of selling my 2002 Seamaster Bond die another day ltd edition , I've only worn it a few times in 18 years so it still looks as new with the box and papers .
The ltd editions are quite hard to value so if anyone knows where one of the other 10,007 watches is up for sale i'd appreciate knowing
You and I are on the same page. I like the modern block with the other tubes.kinda reminds me of when you had to wait for things to warm up.Nixie tubes are fab. A friend is a bit if a collector, even built himself a Nixie watch.
I have a kit in the cupboard...for two years
It was the first of the bond specials ,I expect they were thinking there’d be a lot of demand, 10,007 sounds a lot but worldwide it’ll only be 100s per country I’d think.
