I have the distinct pleasure of having seen and worn a 376.0822, the Maddox Speedmaster, oft called the "Grail", owned by the frequent poster here, jimmoose. Jim is currently on the WIS grand tour of the Northeastern US and Canada, having made a stop at my house during the sojourn. As Jim is far less likely to post at the moment than usual, I will take this moment to post some photos of that grand watch.

It is a Speedmaster, but not a Pro

The only time a 1045 was put in a moonwatch case

There's 9 hands/wheels on that eminently readable dial

Jim's is in the best condition I have ever seen, and doubly rare for the English day wheel, of which Jim tells me there were 200

My Teutonic moonphase is one of 300 produced, with the manual wind calibre 866 moonphase in a titanium/gold case for only the German market
