subdial spacing is still way off. The movement decorations look OK.

I wonder why the factories can't get a suitable movement for the correct spacing. Even despite that, speedmaster reps are super popular.
with the right movement, the first factory would make a killing

I love the look of the speedmaster pro moonwatch , but i cant get my head around why these were made with a manual wind.
Someone please explain why you would want that?

Rotors had issues in zero gravity.

Holy hell.... I never would have thought of that.....

But really- how many of us are going into space?

There are speedmaster pros which are automatic, but the allure of the manual wind is that it was the model that went to space / the moon. People dig that.

The speedy pro is not automatic. The reduced was, and the heritage is. Both the speedy pros (hesalite and sapphire sandwich) use 3861 which is manual wind with hacking seconds, prior they used 18xx without hacking seconds, but no automatics since I think the 80s.

The 3861 is a pleasure to wind every morning and looks amazing. Personally, I don’t want a big rotor blocking my view of the movement.

Plenty of 1861 watches second hand in nice nick means it’s one that definitely worth buying in genuine (not that you can get a good rep anyway!)

 

[Karbon74]

I like to wind my watches

 

[Snaaakeey]

When is it getting released?

No sign at the usual dealers

 

[Radirka]

Well, about the smooth winding and an every day pleasure of it - I have to say the 1861 is anything but pleasure to wind every day.

Just spotted the "co-axial" on the case back! Ha!

Do tell......... why do you say that?

 

[e1phantom]

I have no problems winding my gen 1861.

Well, because the crown is well recessed and pretty small so the winding process often gives me a sore thumb. I've had many hand wound watches, I also always pre-wind automatics and the Speedy is by far the most uncomfortable to wind of the lot, especially in the winter months when the skin is dry. It's a pain on the fingers.

Yes it is a little awkward, I agree. My thumbs are big too. Have to kinda slide my thumb in one direction and part of my index in the other.

Sounds so nice winding compared to literally any rep I've ever had though. Gen just sounds so nice lol.

The more watches one possess, the less one cares about them being automatics
