Any ideas? Speedmaster?

As you guys probably know...I am on the prowl for another watch. I think I will be going with an Omega Speedmaster 3570.50 "Moon" watch. Do you guys know any sources for a nice preowned one? (I am crossing my fingers right now... )

I am open to other models, but I really dig the black bezel!


I am seeing them out there for around $1900...is that realistic or inflated?

Don't know about where one might be, Mark. Topper, maybe?
From what I've seen, $1900 pre-owned is about average.

there is a guy in LA with a Japenese name and two guys in Japan with steller reps on EBAY! Make sure you get the 3570.50 and not the one with the see thru case back! Moon case back is great! I would think 1750.00/1900.00(any cheaper and i would worry unless a solid seller) would be where the market is but just keep an eye out and you never know! All the watches on the bay are being sold be guys with 100% rating and tons of sales so dont be afraid of them!

Oh, yeah... Irvine, CA is seller location on ebay. Forgot about him. I sure that's where Tom (Pacifichrono) got his Speedy from. He also spoke very highly of this seller; jmryshi

Here you go:

After searching around a little Mark, it does seem like somewhere around $1900 is
reasonable for this Speedmaster. It also looks like Tim, and Trevor gave you some
AWESOME leads ! The only other idea I had was that elitedealseeker site that
we have recently been talking about. There is one there for $1700.00 but it looks
like there are alot of scratches on it. So, other than buying one new, I think Tim,
and Trev got you covered on this one sir ! Good luck !

Here is that link, just to show you by the way..

Thanks guys!! I'll check it out!

. . . Aha . . . that's what youv'e been up to. Awesome, the MoonWatch!

Guess I see why you released some really nice watches now.

I can't run with you Brother, I'll just sit on the porch for now . . . .

Is the chase fun or WHAT?

No, Alan, it's not fun! Now I'm looking at the different watches, saying... "wow, look at that one." "hmmm, that's a nice price..."

We're all MAD here...

On eBay try:

jmryshi

Both have excellent reputations among WIS who do Omegas.

A newer one that has very high #s on eBay and a lot of Omegas is:

Tell me about it... I've bookmarked a couple of the ebay stores mentioned in the thread. You know, just to "window shop."

The clear caseback shows off the movement so well though! The solid is more classic though!

Nothing helpful from me, just wanted to say good luck in the quest!
