    Hi

    Ok I'm sure you know the scenario, a friend who has recently taken a interest in your watch collecting / stories of price increases is on holiday & spots a watch in the back of a junk shop & sends you the only picture he is able to grab before his OH pulls him away.

    I'm not fully up on Speedmaster's .. can I ask do you think from this 1 picture is it worth sending him back tomorrow to buy the watch, its on sale at circa $1100/£900 or ask for a few more pictures ..

    Speedmaster reduced... ebay prices for these are £900-£1500 depending on condition/box/where in the world it is.

    If it's working as it should, that's the bottom of what these tend to sell for - ultimately depends if you want to own a Speedmaster reduced - and that's not having a dig.

    Don't buy it just because it's at the cheap end of the spectrum... ;)

    You realize this is the automatic version, right?

    If he buys that watch, he can look forward to being ridiculed by hardcore Speedmaster fanboys. That's not done here, but Reduced models will buy you a lot of grief on several websites.

    Most, if not all 3510's were tritium but were never marked as such, same as the 2531 seamasters.

    No big deal here...Price is in the common price range..so..in my humble opinion better to wait for a nice 145.022 speedy..
