When I learned this after I briefly thought I’d found an alternative to the AnOrdain, I cried a little. Again.

Fourth wheel, mainspring, yada yada. Yeah, I don’t understand all the parts either.

That’s a great deal!

Wow! When was this? How much was the service? I just had my 1994 3590.50 serviced and I was lucky to find a guy and not have to ship it to Switzerland where it would have received a lobotomy and a facelift. 😬

Coincidentally, the 1994 Speedmaster 3590.50 I’m wearing, which is actually getting dropped off with my watch guy this morning for an adjustment (it’s running -20 sec/day since getting its first service).

I bought it after doing a rabbit hole ton of reading and decided I wanted the 861 movement. Good pedigree and still very serviceable. I wanted something vintage or near vintage in my collection that I wasn’t skittish about wearing. I also wanted tritium and an original 1479/812 bracelet if I could find one, which I did. She’s a beautiful example of that reference era!

Gratuitous espresso shot included because early.
