·Yes seller is not trustworthy and he copied my listing just to wind me up but I can take it 😉
So you finally saw the light, eh? He burned you too I guess.
£3100 for a 105003 dial

··Ash @ ΩFWell, as distinctive as these dials and bezels can be, the eagle eyes around here will probably recognize them when they resurface. Of course work can be done.
As to whether it matters, correct but possibly non-original parts get scrutinized to no end around here. Ultimately the buyer will decide but it could be a bargaining chip or at very least food for fodder for ΩF hyperanalysis.

·I understand the financial logic of something like this, but I do feel it's 'wrong' in being part of the growing 'industry' of over-focus on the investment value of these things we love for their technical/aesthetic qualities. I'd also question the seller's integrity in describing the dial as mint - looking at the pics on eBay under magnification I'd agree the condition is good for age, but hardly 'mint'.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoI understand the financial logic of something like this, but I do feel it's 'wrong' in being part of the growing 'industry' of over-focus on the investment value of these things we love for their technical/aesthetic qualities.

Unfortunately when values climb to a certain level for collectibles, hobbyists get pushed out and investors start coming in - happening more frequently in this era of low interest rates. This is one of the reasons why I concentrate on vintage omegas - there are always models that interest me that have not gotten investor interest (and perhaps never will!).

·Buy and wear what you like and can afford. I certainly WANT to straight lug Speedy, but not when the watch would cost more than the car I own. My styles need to align 👍

I know which was the better investment.

·Straight lug speedmasters have moved from being an enthusiasts watch to being a medium of wealth concentration - just as the Rolex Daytona has.
I am intrigued by this. What differentiates straight lugs from a Paul Newman of the same quality? Are produced volumes similar? From a rarity standpoint who wins? And if it's the speedy, why does a Newman command such high market values in comparison (way over 6 figures @ times)?
I have my opinions on this matter, but am more interested in learning from people with more knowledge than I.
