    Wouldn't be an expert, but they do pop up for anything from the €2,750 mark upwards.

    There are Omega forums that are a good source with realistic prices. But the market here is small at best.

    Thanks lorddrakula , would you reccomend any specific sites ?

    This is pretty definitive, with lots of information and knowledgeable people.
    https://omegaforums.net/


    WatchuSeek is a wider playing field, but has specilaist sub forums and and good for sale sections.

    There's a few Speedies on Adverts at the moment, depending on what you are after.

    Is he after a vintage, a reissue, or just a contemporary one?

    I am very tempted to move mine on. But not quite ready yet to say good bye.
    It's one of the 1997 transition models...new movement but old tritium dial.
    3590.50.00.

    Just to be clear, that's the reduced version. But still a quality watch.

    I have had both (still have the pro).

    The automatic one I found wore small (which I like). Quality of the bracelet fair poor. Had to be serviced twice in the 12 months (under warranty as it has been serviced by the previous owner. Issues seem common with the movement as there is a bolted on module for the chrono features. They replaced the entire movement in the end....with out ask....but that’s a different story.

    Try before you buy.

    It sure is. I was going to pull the trigger on one in Glasgow a few years ago, thought to myself what a great price!

    Thankfully didn't and then bought a proper Moonwatch from a regular here.

    I was originally considering a SH reduced and when I tried one on, I felt it wore very small.

    I've found the SS bracelet on the Professional very nice.

    @OP I have one that I'm considering selling. I bought it in October 2018. Problem is I'm in Australia, but my parents are currently here and returning back to Ireland in a few weeks. DM me if you'd like to ask any questions about it.
