Pressie in the post from Mr.Hackett...

[WelshChris]

... Always wanted one of these and today it arrived - it doesn't disappoint in any way. Here's a quick photo, but as this is one of the first Speedies with the impressive new packaging I'll post some more photos when I get a chance. Dominic is a dangerous man - I must delete his contact details before he becomes too familiar!

Congratulations! That shot makes me want to wear mine

I'm talking to Dominic at the moment........................likely to get expensive as well

It'll be a wallet-lightening experience if you're not careful!

Nice, I noticed there was a new reference number for the 'classic' moon watch. Apart from the additional straps and packaging is there any difference in the steel bracelet?

[WelshChris]

The bracelet is different - links now held with pins and retaining screws. I'll post up some detailed photos when I get back home (away until Monday). The box and contents are impressive too.

Very nice.

Wouldn't have trusted the post though

I went down to "That London" pick mine up personally from Mr H.

[RobinBanks]

I've never bought a watch from him but I have chatted with him about some. I'm scared to meet him in person. My credit score is good enough to get me into a lot of trouble!

In my experience, Mr H uses the most cast iron method of recorded, registered, signed for, insured mail available. Having said that, I did make a trip to London from Nottingham for my Wife's engagement ring when I bought that from him.

Lovely Speedy - great choice. A timeless classic.

I have just dropped Dom an e-mail also with a request to source something for me. I can feel my bank balance groaning at the mere thought.

It was..........albeit a pleasant experience

Just have to wait 4-6 weeks for the new wrist candy to arrive and then pop down to his office to collect it

[WelshChris]

The waiting is the killer - my Speedie was a long time because of the transition to the new model with posh box and updated bracelet. It's a lovely watch - getting used to wearing it now
