The Speedy looks sweet today as always William!!!!thumbsup.gif

Bummed to hear about the mega-tight focal screws!!!!  I haven't had mine off the stock rubber yet, but was thinking about switching things up this weekend...looks like I may be in for a bit of a challenge in getting the screws loose!  I always hope that hot water will be enough!

Maybe a longer soak in hot water, another sip of vodka to calm the nerves, hug a baby seal, and then give it another go...subtlelaugh.gif   hope they come loose!!!

Thanks Chris! The Speedy is a great watch: Really love it!
For the Focal screws, I got the first off with 2 screw-drivers and a bit of force... The second one didn't want: Even when I dipped the lugs in boiled water for 1 mnt. The watch gets too hot if I do longer and allready the screws been suffering marks even with the right screwdrivers...
So it's back in the box: Love is gone for now. I don't understand how can people do that, putting the føcking loctite
