Speedy tuesday and 60th anniversary editions value
I have reserved one of each, but since I already have a FOIS when the time comes I will only buy one, if any. I had thought about just passing on them, but looking at the prices for the Apollo 13 45th anniversary snoopy edition... I wonder if it might be wise to buy them and flip them BNIB?The snoopy edition I've seen offered for almost triple the MSRP, so there might be an opportunity here to put some cash in the watch fund. Feedback appreciated.

New (to me) pre moon Speedy back from service (Before and after shots included)
I posted this earlier on WUS, but wanted to share with my TRF friends as well...so please forgive any redundency:I got my 105.012-66 back from a full service and cosmetic clean up at MJ Watch Service near Chicago (.mjwatchservice). I am very pleased with the results and am giddy with vintage speedmaster delight. I got the bracelet done as well, but am really loving the watch on this Hirsch Professional strap. I was stunned at their ability to minimize the substantial ding on the non-crown side without leaving an odd divot or compromizing the case lines. I was also glad to see that cleaning the hands removed some debris that I actually assumed was broken down and lost lume paint. I had to sit down last night and watch the Blu-Ray of Apollo 13 that I got as a christmas present, just to bask in the moment. That movie really is a 2 hr Speedmaster commercial .Okay so enough chat...on to the pics!First a few before:And now the afters...I am wearing it now and imagine will be for some time:

Whats the best leather/rubber straps
Does anyone have a recommendation for leather and rubber straps for my GMT's? I see a lot of talk about the Everest straps. Are they worth the money? I just have a hard time paying that much for a rubber strap. Any other brands out there that one would recommend? Or just bite the bullet and buy an Everest? What about leather?thanks people :)
