Stewart,

Thanks for the kind words.

I must admit that my chrono lust started with the Speedy. My first was a 1971 with an 861 movement and the man on the moon on the case back. As I am sure you know that 861 movement is way less a pain in the butt than this 321. With this one I now have a couple of Speedmasters and a Flightmaster. The one I wear the most is the big ugly Mark IV with the day date...I like a date. This one will be reserved for special occasions and someday somebody at a watch show will decide they like it more than I do. Maybe I will use the money to buy a couple of Heuers I know are squirreled away.
