The Speedy Apollo 15 Steel/Rose gold LE. Thinking of adding another speedy to the collection but not sure which one.... Any ides? Answers on a post card please!
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.
One came onto eBay today without a wankers reserve. Price is still decent. It seems to be without the commemorative box and gubbins, so may go for a moderate price. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=350765676210&globalID=EBAY-GBPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
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.
Bert (watch photographer @ Fratello) had one in his personal collection. It took ages before he could sell it... It is a beautiful timepiece, but I think you can bargain a bit about the price. They are not that in demand somehow. More pics: http://www.fratellowatches.com/spee...master-professional-gemini-4-limited-edition/
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!
Thats two watches i have missed from people you know now RJ! I have found 3 but no original box or papers the search continues!
