They feature three different styled faces in various colors. The faces have either Roman or Arabic numerals, or pictured with simple hour markers. These are some of the first actual images of the watch after its unveiling that I've seen and I have to say that I am impressed.

Regulation For Speedy 3570
A friend's Speedy 3570 is 19 seconds fast, according to him. I believe, it's 3 years old, since purchased. I know a watchmaker, who can do it. My question is, when they open it, to be regulated, does it maintain its water resistance? Or, it has to be pressure tested, so that it keeps being water proofed? Thanks!Cheers.
