Spacefruit, I agree with your point. BTW, your avatar Speedy looks like having a beautiful 2915 dial! Can we see pics from the beauty?
Concerning the highly collectible Omegas from end 50ies beginning 60ies my theory is, that people might have been around 30 to 40 when they purchased those watches just as daily runners. Since then 50 to 60 years have passed and the owners are approaching the age of 100
. In case their successors are not crazy about this old stuff, those wathces show up to the market now. In fact this does not really happen as I expected, so my conclusion is, that those watches are simply rare and will get even rare when they have finally disappeared in those "collectors holes" where they do not reappear for decades. Just look, how rarely a pretty 2998 or 2915 shows up at the big auction houses. Almost nothing since long.
In 6 years there is 50th anniversary of the moon landing. I think, this will give an extra kick to the Speedmaster market.
