Haha, to make things more concrete, here is my conundrum: I was able to acquire the SpeedyMoon a couple of months ago for around $5k less than market value, but it was somewhat of a spontaneous purchase since it wasn't a reference I'd necessarily been looking for for a long time, but it was too good of a deal to pass up on. I haven't been able to wear it much yet since it's still getting serviced, so I'm not sure yet how much I will Iove it long term, but I do definitely like it a lot, enough to have prompted me to sell my 145.012-67 so as to not have two twisted lug moonwatches (my idea of being "reasonable" 😂). In terms of other Speedies in my collection, I do also have a Speedmaster 57 Trilogy (which I'm putting a 321 into so that I can still have a 321 in my collection 🤪) and a Speedmaster Reduced (which I'm putting the Marui panda dial on, just for fun), and then I'm also building a 105.012-65 (to replace my 145.012 and be the 321 donor for my 57). 😮💨
In terms of El Primeros, I currently have the Chronomaster Original Hodinkee salmon dial re-edition, which I do also really like and would normally keep except I've also been using it in-part to assess how much I might like a vintage A386, which I've also been thinking about for quite some time, but I would only keep one of those two. Coincidentally, vintage A386s currently cost around $5k more than SpeedyMoons.
SO, I may have the opportunity to trade in my SpeedyMoon (at market value) + another ~$5k for the A386 pictured, which would essentially transfer my ~$5k SpeedyMoon profit to be able to get the A386 for ~$5k less than it's current market value. Of course I'd like to keep/have both, but unfortunately it's just too cost prohibitive at the moment 😭. I could also just do nothing for the time being and enjoy the SpeedyMoon and make the decision later, but even though there were more A386s produced, there seem to be fewer available in good condition compared to the SpeedyMoons (which makes sense since they're 15 years older). And even though A386 prices have seemed relatively stable for the past few years, I don't think that's necessarily been the case for the best condition examples. Similarly though, SpeedyMoon prices have approximately doubled over the last 5 years...
More opinions welcome!
