You wont find a moonwatch for less than 3.3k at the moment. I had one that owed me 2600 euro and even at that low low price it was not worth keeping. I think my views on the moonwatch are well aired here, and I appreciate that a lot of people love it. But for me at 2600 it was not a special enough watch, as they creep up and up in price the specialness gets less and less.. If the sellers regret is strong got for it. But up at 4k think what else you could try. A nice JLC, a grand seiko, a Zenith El Primero (my choice in this bracket).
Was selling watches last weekend, and the chap buying was wearing a speedmaster. I tried it on (albeit soaked in alochol gel) and it reconfirmed to me that its just not for me. Too ordinary, too ubiquitous, too much faux horoligical history, too delicate for a big tool watch.

He can’t remember. He never looked at the card. He only had it a day.
If you are thinking it’s the same one then see if yours came with only one nato (should be two)as I kept the black one as I thought I wanted it when I sold to Fitz. If it only came with one then it’s the same watch.
Wasn't the only thing that was missing. Tut tut, butchering watch sets and selling them on incomplete in the guise of doing the community a favour

It’s the only thing I kept.
.....and......I actually gave it back to the original community that the watch came from. Donated it to the fundraiser on TZ a few months back.

As I said there was something else missing. Not that I noticed anyway, but Thomas spotted it straight away. Can't remember now, maybe a springbar tool? Anyway Thomas was gracious not to look for more money than we agreed. Will always remember the moonwatch, icon of a watch, but it not being water proof would never make it the watch for me. But I will remember it as the watch that enabled me to buy my first Rolex.
I sold it with a springbar tool....full set. I remember because it was a good springbar tool and I ordered the same one for my toolbox which I still have.
Dont want to labour the point and I generally stay out of the speedmaster spat, but as I sold it complete I dont want anyone thinking I swiped the goodies. It had all the papers, booklets and manuals. Metal coin, both natos, metal braclet and extra links (there was a good fews extra links 3 I think), loupe and springbar tool. Anything that went missing was nothing to do with me.
If anything is to be remember its that I passed up on the profit on this watch as a man of my word, this watch did nothing....I did.

I'll ask Thomas does he remember what was missing next time I buy a Rolex off him
Your reputation is beyond repute anyway Fitz. Not only did you give me a good deal on it, you also gave me some other Omega goodies with it. And you did so again only this week when you noticed I bought another Omega watch.0 -

There were always Speedmasters that retailed over 12k (even in stainless steel) - the aventurine moonphase speedmaster was around 13k if I recall correctly (the non-aventurine moonphase speedies were more in the 5k region which shows how much Omega thought aventurine added to the watch).
Gorgeous piece - but I wouldn't pay retail for it... whereas I did buy the moonphase speedy from their boutique (did get a BT discount at the time though).
Here's the aventurine speedy:

(they said it was 11.5k in the article... not sure it was available here for less than 12k and that's been superseded by the new aventurine model with the coaxial movement)

Stingray strap for sale!
Long story, but I ended up with 2 identical blue stingray 20mm straps like the one in my picture on the Seamaster. The one for sale is brand new, unworn. I'm keeping the one that's in the picture. Any interest PM me. Preferable collected from me in Lucan, but I guess with the current lockdown it is more realistic that I should ship it to anywhere in Ireland.0 -
