DD Speedway Elite 566/800 - Awesome !

So finally after 2 weeks and passing all the tests I sized the watch yesterday. It's been

running non stop for 52hrs+ on power reserve. Wow ! Now I need his brother in my

collection all black,COMBAT. Hope Eyal checks the remaining inventory and releases

them ASAP.

Cheers ~

Well in that case you should let some of them 7750's go at a reasonable price to one of

your MI Buddies

Looks really great. Thank you for sharing. I am new to this forum and enjoy learning from

all of you senior members. Thank you all so much for your contribution. I had mine--the

same blue/SS Speedway DD for over two weeks #538, and it is keeping exceptional time

and better or on par with my other Swiss time pieces. I used to buy high end name brand

watches only and probably over (yes) spent too much (stupid) over the years until I started

watching Shopnbc a few years ago and was very surprised at the beautiful watches

displayed for a reasonable price/value.

I and my friends previously appreciated and knew about the Dubois-Depraz' (DD) elite

movements in high end watches. The 2021 calibration is exceptional in reputation (of

course with the 2892-2 base movement) and is used in many high end watches [certainly

not only in the Hublot watches [they are nice watches]-I think the only company

commented on this site --but of course I am probably/maybe wrong--but there are other

swiss companies with this movement--this is a movement that I looked for here]. So--I

wanted a watch with the DD 2021 movement. I found it here.

In terms of my other favorite choices and why, for example, just a few years back, I

purchased a Rolex Submariner Gold/SS and that was my favorite overall watch as it was a

truly beautiful and it functioned perfectly. I must admit the 904L SS (Rolex) outside is

exceptional to have because it resists any type of scratches unlike my other 316L SS time

pieces that accept almost every surface scratches. I would like more companies to use

904L on the outer part of the watch as it is very durable and keeps the watch beautiful (in

terms of finish for years). But for now my favorite watch is the Speedway DD, as it is such

a nice production with exceptional movement. I hope those persons who bought a defect

one get one that functions properly. Thank all of you senior watch experts for your

contributions in this forum as it is very helpful.

Glad to read finally that someone is enjoying their new Speedway. I was fortunate

enough to have received mine without any issues. Really frustrating to read of all the

issues here in the forum. I would not hesitate in purchasing another of these watches

for my collection. I really enjoy mine. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on picking up "The Best of The Best" when it comes to Speedways.

Love the furnace blue accents against the white dial.

Enjoy with plenty of serious wrist time.
