The Speedy looks sweet today as always William!!!!

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... 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

I hear you William...that can be frustrating as hell.

I once had to order a new set of lug bars, and then carefully dremel cut the lug bar off of one of mine a while back...and that was after the double screwdriver head-bang, followed by high force with one of those specialized tools that holds one side fixed while you grit your teeth and try to carefully loosen the other side...no love there.

You have other great predictions like that Chris? I need another glass...

)

It's a very red meat. Like the whale, it can have a tiny bit of fish oil taste depending of parts and animals. Never tasted dog...
I have 3kg left of the finest parts and will grill some steaks tomorrow night for the girlfriend's B.day
Nice H2O by the way: Please bring clearer pics
