Hi

I m 32 years old and based in Sweden. Ijust got in to watches and bought my self a breitling chronomat gmt. Now im ready to get my
first Omega. The model im looking for is Omega Speedmaster 311.30.44.50.01.002 but it seems to be discountinued why? I would like to have the
original moonwatch but my wrist are to big.

I would like to buy it from a European union country so i can exclud VAT. Can anybody recomend a retailer with good discount pleas.

What do you guys think of the Omega Speedmaster 311.30.44.50.01.002. Cant belive its got discontinued is it that bad?

Thanks
Omid

Models change. Sometimes it has nothing to do with them being bad.

Maybe, but there are probably more likely candidates.

The best thing is to buy it because you like it and it looks good on you. Trying to second guess the future market is only marginally better than trying to read tea leaves. If you treat the watch as pure expenditure with no expectation of future return then you'll stay happy with your decision.

You are right about that, Now that i cant find it i want it even more. How is this model of the speedmaster accepted in the speedmaster "community" since its not the real moonwatch?

The only Speedmaster that is sure to be a collector's item in future years is the same model that has been one for the last 50.

That's the classic Speedmaster handwound cal. 1861.

Anything else, and you're gambling.

You can still find the model you are after through some of the grey market dealers, eg authenticwatches.com

How about 8500 v. 2500 movement? How significant is that from the standpoint of reliability and accuracy? If you're not measuring subatomic particles, will the 2500 coaxial do?
