They seem to be gaining a little in value these days. I'm trying to decide if it's too busy for me, but I do like it in photos. I think watchvault's supply may have dried up. I never bought an auto Speedmaster before. This may be a first. Is the movement considered to be solid? Also, if I buy on chrono24 from Japan, what can I expect in the way of hassle, customs costs, taxes?
While trying to find the reason nearly all of these come from Japan, I stumbled upon this article from Fratello. It seemed quite edgy in its portrayal of this forum and its "curmudgeonly" membership.
"Watches like the Omega Speedmaster 3210.52 Casino Dial get relatively little respect and attention in the curmudgeonly Omega forums where Speedmaster collectors provide both correct and dubious information in mass quantities. The reason for this is that Speedy neckbeards tend to disqualify any namesake piece that lacks a hand-winding movement and/or a Hesalite (you risk losing your forum privileges - which you don’t really have until 100’s of inane posts - should you call it “acrylic”) crystal."
Did some of you piss off the "experts" at Fratello? Still, an astute assessment. I especially like the part about mass quantities of correct and dubious info.

Hahaha, you Speedy neckbeard curmudgeons with your acrylic crystals!
