Sorry to put you on the spot with my question. I suppose you are correct in that OF sellers are reliable, honorable gentleman who fully disclose, to the best of their knowledge, their merchandise and stand behind what they sell.
That being said, there are only a couple of sellers on OF who specialize in Speedmasters and they have access to only so many watches. The 3570.50 and its new variant with the black goodie box, has been in production for almost 20 years. It is the most basic, modern interpretation of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. There are probably hundreds available used worldwide and countless dealers offering new (and even discounted) ones as well.
My point is that by reading posts on this forum, asking members questions regarding prospective purchases, reading
Www.speedmaster.com (for a general overview as this only goes thru the 1970's) and best of all, spending $300 and purchasing Moonwatch Only, anyone should be able to navigate their way to purchase a 3570.50 from a place like Ebay (highly rated sellers only) and other sources as well. Remember, Ebay is very buyer friendly. Many of us purchase on Ebay routinely. Even the OF sellers, at times, buy on EBay and then resell, to members and others.
