Re: Speedmaster 50th anniversary model

Hi,
I think I agree with you and am going to follow your advice since I'm not knowledgeable enough to buy on line. I have one AD in St. Louis which is 2 hours away from me. That's do able and I'm going to take a trip next week. The other Illinois ADs are in the Chicago area. That's 3 and a half hours away if I don't get held up. Basically, to visit a Chicago area AD, I need to spend at least two days, 1 for travel to and from and another to make the rounds of the stores. So, I've got almost $500 committed in mileage, gas, meals, an overnight stay, etc. Not cheap in terms of time or money, and that's why I like to shop on line. But you are correct, given my knowledge, I gotta bite the bullet and buy from an AD. Thanks.
