Lu.. Lu..
Congrats and awesome collection of Speedys (I'm partial to the Apollo 11th 50th..stunning).......but your Canopus 321....wow....the size, the broad arrow......wish they made a SS variant with all those attributes.....
Thank you for your kind words, Lu.

Yes, I love the true-to-original-38.6mm size. The broad arrow hand in white gold, then PVD with Canopus gold, is stunning in the metal.

My favourite feature is the “Step-dial” in Onyx, achieved by assembling 3 Onyx components together.

The closest steel version of my watch would be the SpeedMaster Trilogy version released in 2017.


I own 1 myself, wearing it on the new FOIS bracelet with micro adjustments. I hate the thick, clunky bracelet that comes with the Trilogy.

I wear my Trilogy on an US flatlink which I alternate with the Seamaster Trilogy. The 2 OEM bracelets are still stickered up, no taper and the clunky clasps don't do it for me either.

Congratulations! That's a heck of a collection, and the latest pickup is extraordinary. I wish you many, many happy and healthy years of wearing!

A mint condition 2915-1 will fetch a bit more. Beautiful watch!

Do you know any trusted dealer who is specialised in selling vintage Speedmaster? I’m curious to find out.

Have a wonderful day!

There are quite a few. I wouldn’t take a dealer as the starting point, though. With vintage, it all comes down to the right model, in the right condition, and at the right price. I for one am constantly monitoring the market in search for nice vintage pieces. If you’re thinking of dipping your toe into vintage, Moonwatch Only and speedmaster101.com are good places to start. And ones you stumbled upon a piece that is to your liking, and you’ve made your assessment of it, it’s always a good idea to contact others (on the forum or offline) for their second opinion. The hunt is part of the fun. 👍

Impressive collection shown already, btw! Thanks for sharing.
