Though you declare not being fan of the Speedy, I feel that at least one example should reside in your collection and filling the Triology gap...

... would be a fantastic excuse!

All the examples you show can make happy a demanding collector. I would go for any of those you are considering... before they are gone forever or their prices put definitively in the missing train category! wink

As this crazy market suggest the Speedy prices trend is to keep rising their values.

I wish to see your own Speedy soon dear Nicolas! Your collection deserves it!

Un abrazo desde las Pampas! Abel

Some Omega Speedmasters.

I am not a big fan of Speedmasters... Maybe because there is so much passion about it, maybe because I am always reluctant when a watch cannibalizes a brand, maybe because when people think Omega, they first think " Speedmasters ". I don't have a Speedmas...

Ref 105.003 The legendary Ed White, Circa 1965. You can feel the history in this watch. All the marketing hype came later on.

2915s are for sure the most iconic but since a few years their prices have skyrocketed. Aesthetically speaking my favourite reference is 2998 with straight lugs and alpha hands. A good and

all original 2998-1 is unbeatable IMHO. Furthermore you, as you mentioned, also 105.002 is a great reference above all for its rarity.

The problem with Omega is that, indeed, they are squeezing the moon watch like a lemon. They have gone too far with limited editions on special editions, white grey Black you name it, they’ve got it But it completely took the magic out of it To me there a...

I will also say I am not a big fan; I mean the watch is ok but it is my personal, non-funded and totally subjective belief that no man has ever put a foot on the moon.... oh I said it....

Watch your back! ;) [nt]

I am sure these gentlemen are really good human beings! I am just very sceptical with some parts of the written history... Actually the more I age, or perhaps the more I see what is going on today, the less I believe certain parts of recent history... But... 

Well, I'm a skeptic, too, about many . . .

Thanks for the post. I agree with you, I want a speedmaster but there are so many choices where to start?

Please keep posting any more choices that you find - this gives me a better idea of what's out there. Thanks!
