What do you guys think of this one? NO BOX NO PAPERS.. I think it's real since I don't think there aren't any replica that I know of for this model. Is this a good deal even no box and papers?

For me, no box and papers for a modern LE = no buy.

 

I agree...I always wondered how the goodies could disappear on a modern watch? It's like late model Rolex sport watches that have no bracelet?

 

The dial should not be also meteorite outside of the subdials? Is the bad pics or my imagination?

Extras are always nice, but how many people lose the manuals on cars they buy? I figure a lot. It happens.

As for modern Rolexes without bracelets, people sell them to subsidize the cost of the watch all the time.

Aren't these LE bits available for exchange only? Meaning you can only get a new dial/caseback if you turn in an old dial/caseback?

Value of course drops if extras from an LE are gone.

 

Oh, it's only a Speedmaster. I thought the Apollo Soyuz capsule was up for bidding. Oh well, moving on......

 

You need the Apollo AND the Soyuz capsule so you can be sure it's real deal. Just either one could be just a plain old space capsule.

 

What would be the approximate market price for one with the full set of box and papers?

 

That is entirely up to the buyer to decide. What many of us do to get some kind of baseline is look at recent sales on ebay, as well as auction sites, and marketplace listings here. That should get you some data to work with.

 

Depends on price. but if low enough I'd buy

I remembered @ulackfocus commenting one of the features he would examine for in a watch is the medallion on the back casing so the secret to this A-S Speediorite is inspecting the medallion. It doesnt matter if the lighting is different but everything about the referred medallion is wrong
My personel opinion is the ebay watch in question is a Replica & not the Real Deal

 

I didnt even know they made fake soyuz. Thanks!

 

Dial just doesn't look right. Can't see anything but smooth black on the main dial. I would want much better pics of the dial and at different angles. Looking at mine right now. The difference is obvious.

 

I'll show you another simple useful trick i use to study fakes. Download the ebay watch for sale then use an Apps that can convert the photo into Negative imaging
Ok. Let's Rock the World. Now both Genuine & Replica medallions once again [emoji41]

 

It is a nice caseback.

 

Should we report EBAY to help other??? You guys are the experts.

 

I'm not an expert[emoji47] Not even close. More like a freak of nature & a nutcase who loves watching TV dramas like X Files , CSI & House [emoji3]

 

LOL NERD ALERT!!! LOL

Thanks all.

Once again appreciate the negative Imaging of a "Dirty colourful grainy dial" of a Genuine Apollo-Soyuz vs a
" Clean Reverse lume smooth dial " of a Replica

 

It varies by the LE in question...
