I was looking at these watches that sold at auction in 2009 and thinking if only....


A Speedmaster that went to the moon for $23,900 inc. premium







Or this Ltd Edition for $11,950 inc premium?

 

And today they are worth

 

If only I had a time machine...

 

I should think you would safely get your money back.

 

Probably the solid gold one would had appreciate more than the steel one

 

DONs were $100 in 2009

 

The last loose DON bezel I bought was £58.99 on 31 Oct 2012

@fskywalker I really do think the Ron Evans Speedmaster could get to $1 million today. The John Young more like 60-100k? So I am going Steel.

 

Not quite. It was resold by Christie’s in 2015 for $245,000USD.

 

If he had practiced with the engraving tool a bit before hand, who knows what it would have sold for.

 

Oh wow, times have changed.
I guess one has to factor in the great recession of 2008. And inflation. But still... wow.
