I would absolutely choose the Speedmaster, the watch worn on the Moon. Great combo with your Seamaster.
Yes, you can get new 3861 Speedmaster with hesalite crystal and black nylon strap for under 6k in euros. The list price is 6,1k, but you should get some discount.
Also you can still find new Speedmasters with the older 1861 movements. With hesalite and steel bracelet the price is 5,1k in euros. The sapphire versions are more expensive. With the hesalite glass: that is the most classic and historically more relevant Speedy. But you can more easily get some scratches, because of the nature of hesalite. I personally find the hesalite more beautiful.
Pros with the 3861 movement:
- latest movement, anti-magbetic, hacking seconds, accuracy
- excellent travelbag for the Speedy included
Pros with the 1861 movement:
- more classical Speedy, closer to the model that astronauts used on the Moon
- the presentation box is amazing experience:
Spare straps, loop, strap changing tool, great booklet about different Apollo missions..
Happy hunting, I hope this helps!
