Speedy Help
All, I have decided to set my sights on a Speedmaster. The issue I am having is that there are so many models and ref #'s, that I simply cannot decipher.I would like it to be a Moon watch with the traditional black face. Not picky on strap, but ideally a presentation case back would be best.Any help here on what ref #/ model to look for is deeply appreciated.Roger

I work in an office and most people who do wear decent watches all have Rolexes (desk diving clones for the most part). Does anyone else wear a Pam to work? Are Pams considered too flash or non conformist? Interesting to get people's views. Cheers!
