105.003? vintage speedmaster newbie inquiry!

Lapanouse

As noted, that price would have been low in the 90s for a watch like this one. We all hope to find a deal that makes no sense, but how many people have watches like this and no clue what they are worth? How do you go about selling an item without taking 5 mins to check prices on ebay or any other source?

The seller was clueless, maybe he thinks an old speedmaster isnt worth too much and too lazy to open to caseback for ref check, when I heard it is manual winding and he has no tool to open caseback for movement shot, I think I score an Ed White for 1300usd.
I am trying to sort original crown, box, or bracelet but current price for even a 1035/506 is reaching 2k or more, I think I will stay with a leather strap for now 😀

So you found a $15,000 or so watch for $1300 and you are worried about a 2k bracelet that might even take the value of the package up more than 2k ... or worst case scenario barely cut into the MASSIVE margin you get to enjoy on this?

I know you aren't planning on selling the watch, but it seems a bit of a non issue here. I could buy it if you just don't like a bracelet as a look (I don't either so much) but using the money argument doesn't hold too much water. But congrats on the find none the less!

Seller asked for 1150usd but aguy came and so I got it for a higher price 1300usd first come first serve. Even with a scrap or any movement at all it is still a stealth
