    They are really high asking as of now. I used to find them mid 3's late last year. I like the piece but not a big fan of two tone speedies.

    I had one, but decided I liked the traditional Speedy better. I'm shocked at recent sales prices, IIRC I paid mid $2s for mine a couple of years ago.

    That watch would look awesome on my wrist. Damn my refusal to buy a manual wind!:)

    Without the box and papers a limited edition loses a lot of its value. Just my thoughts as a seller ;)

    Also thinking of a Gemini 4... Out of the two what would you go for?

    That's a fairly tough decision IMO. I'm a sucker for blue dials, but rose gold & black is a great combo. In the end, it would be the Gemini 4 because it is a tool watch and tools are made of steel, not gold.

    Gemini IV is my favorite LE, and its actually rather small numbers at 2005 pieces total.

    I describe a small number of pieces as a watch you hardly ever see anyone else wearing - Not like my Rolex's!! Everyman and his dog has one! Its this that has me swaying more towards the LE pieces from Omega, on top of that i am a space nut oh and a speedy nut! :thumbsup:

    Wanna make a bet that more than half of those are fake or 'homage' (read: rip offs of the design)? :D
