I found a couple on Watchrecon, one with original dial but replacement hands, and one that was full original but twice the price.
For a watch that is still made, the Speedy sure is fairly hard to find! They seem to sell as soon as they hit the sales corner.

I did find a couple on Lunar Oyster site by Kirill (Krylzuh on OF and TRF) |

You should contact George (Kringkily)on OF and ask him to find one for you. He seems to have the resources to get what people want pretty quickly, and from all accounts his prices are reasonable, and he is great to deal with.
Cheers, Al

Here's mine, 3570.50.00, they are quite easy to come by on this side of the Atlantic.  |

Cheers, Al Al Just missed one that George sold on Monday. I contacted him and he will let me know when he gets another in. Thanks! |

Sounds like you got lots of good advice already. Nothing like the Speedy Moonwatch IMO. I love them all, and have seen and tried some LE models as well. But the basic manual wind movement with hesalite crystal is still my favourite. I have had quite a few watches over the years, and some I miss from time-to-time. But when I put the Speedy on my wrist, that feeling goes away.
I really love the 1957 Broad Arrows, and prefer the previous model over the new one. I just think the dial symmetry is better, even though the new '57 with the 9300 movement only has the two subdials and is maybe a bit cleaner looking. There are still quite a few around, overpriced at regular MSRP IMO, but I am sure you can get some deals on those as well.
Cheers,
Carl

charlie3755 I'm still debating on whether I will sell mine or not. We can certainly talk about it when you are ready to talk about it. On another note I have an SD that needs some company if your are still interested? |

Baco Noir I did thank you. You will be pleased to know that your making mention of this one had me spend more time on the OF than I had planned that day. Your attempt to enable was successful. It was not the Speedmaster but I think you will like what I bought. Pictures will follow soon.....BTW I told Gay it was your fault  If we make it to Vegas your in trouble - just saying... Thanks!

I don't have one and I would like to change that. This is the watch I keep coming back too. I've always liked them, iconic and easy on the eyes. My mistake was trying one on. Oh man I automatically feel in love.  |
