I don't get it either. I saw only one poster on TZ that said he was going to buy a 50th anniversary Speedy with the c.33xx F. Piguet based movement, and I don't know if he was aware that it will cost $10,000. I wouldn't even pay $10,000 for a limited edition Speedy with the c.321--it's out of my league. I don't expect these 50th anniversary editions to sell quickly.
