So, in my watch collecting history; I had the pleasure of owning a 3592 (1992 speedmaster with lovely tritium), a modern Moonwatch, and the most recent, 57 Trilogy Speedmaster.
However, each and every time, I have sold each model to fund another purchase.
The deciding factor for me was that; it was too
thick to wear a nato with, so its either leather straps or bracelet. I enjoyed the 57 Trilogy Speedy immensely on the bracelet.
However, looking over at some 145.022 models on Private sales, I realize they are still within reasonable price range (3000-5000 USD) along with speedmaster101 pricing charts. I enjoy the AML and stepped dial look, and of course if the dial is slightly chocolate; then it will demand a higher price.
I ABSOLUTELY love my SM300, and I thought a Speedmaster would be a nice pairing for it. However, I find the speedmaster looks "bigger" though they share the same lug to lug as well as dimensions (42mm).
Anyone here ever not "get" the speedmaster, then finally got it?
Thanks
