I think you did well, I’d prefer the 3861 over that racing model for sure

Cheers. I am also waiting on an Speedy 57. The previous model with the blue face red hands. That will probably compensate.

The '57 and the Moonwatch will make a great pair. From a distance, the Speedmaster Racing looks like a MoonSwatch.

Yea I do agree. Will be a nice duo as they are very different to look at.

Both watches are very good looking but 100% you did not get wrong with the 3861. Now just save the money for the next one 😀

I thought the whole idea was to collect as many of them as we could ?

Having spending time deciding which speedmaster to purchase,i finally deciding to go for the FOIS. Then the 60th anniversary was announced so put my name down for that instead.thinking this would be my only watch! Roll on four years and noticed my local AD selling heavily discounted 1861 moonwatch.so that’s two speedmasters.but still love the FOIS. First love syndrome perhaps?

Where are you finding heavily discounted 1861s?

Remarkably, the 60th anniversary edition Speedy doesn’t get the love it deserves. Great watch, wonderful proportions, colours and finer details. Especially if you change out the thick bracelet for something else!

I love my 3861 Moonwatch. Never considered any other option because the OG was always the one to have for me. But now, after the fact, I do find myself eyeballing that ‘57 Speedmaster wondering if maybe I should have considered all the options first. I never thought to own two Speedmasters, but ya never know…

Yea the 57, mine should be here this week. It’s so different to the Moonwatch visually that you have an entirely different look going on. I have an Oris 65 Divers Chrono as well. A really nice Triple Treat.
