I'd like to pick some brains on the topic if possible.

Occasionally I see one of these come up - a 3572.50 with a tritium dial and an 863 movement more commonly found in the 3592.50 reference.

They come up for sale once or twice a year maybe - and I've been wondering whether or not these kind of speedies might be worth more in the future.

Reasoning being, the number of standard luminova/1863 rhodium versions of the 3572.50 is going to remain fairly ubiquitous over time, whereas these crossovers from the parts bin are going to remain something of a rarity.

Just a speculation really. What do you think?

 

It's rarer, but it's essentially a less-refined 1861. It's not ever going to command a premium like a 321 does. Might go for a few hundred more but I really doubt it will skyrocket in value in the future.

So basically, buy what you like and not for its speculative value. You're better off buying stocks if you want to do that.

 

Totally agree with what you have here. I personally am one of those that bought the 3572.50 with an 1863 movement together with a tritium dial. Bought into it as I just decided to purchase my first speedmaster and was against going to a reduced knowing I would upgrade soon.

I doubt these will go up much but you never know, maybe Omega release a statement one day... one can hope

 

Funny old thread that I found while doing some research on the Speedmaster refs 3592.50 and 3572.50.
Three years later, it is pretty clear that the prices have gone up and that the rare 3572.50 with tritium dial and 863 movement is more expensive than the "standard" 3572.50 uminova/1863 rhodium versions. It seems that the combo of gilt movement and tritium dial is what many people are looking for.

 

Okay but I'm still perfectly happy with my 3572.50 cal.1863.

 

Sure, beautiful watch.
I was rather referring to the initial posting and the question how the price will develop.

 

In the same boat doing research on my speedy. Glad to hear there may be some added value in these Delcamp! I just acquired what was sold to me as a 3592.50. But upon getting an Extract of the Archive from Omega, it turns out I actually have a “transitional” 3572.50 with the tritium dial and beautiful 18 jeweled 863 movement!

 

What a beauty!

 

Thanks!!
