    My dealer offered me one today. I would like it, but would like to have your opinion or your experiences with this watch.
    What wood be a good price for this watch. It would be a new one with a folding clasp.

    Best regards

    It's spectacular in-person. I tried it on at an Omega Boutique in California a couple years back. It wore very comfortably, and its lug-to-lug made it manageable for a 6.75 wrist. The combination of the rose gold bezel ring, dial patterns, and red text is an A+ design in my view.

    Movement-wise, the actuation on its column-wheel chronograph is a notable upgrade over the 1861/1863. I'm not well-versed in all of the technical achievements of the 9300. But from a subjective user experience POV, the 'click/snap' of the 9300 chrono pushers felt much smoother than the 186x.

    If it was priced within a couple thousand of the standard moon-watch, I probably would've added it to my collection by now. But unfortunately it's priced at a 3x multiple over the standard moonwatch :(

    A couple years ago, I remember seeing grey-market FS offers for BNIB examples at 40% off the MSRP. I'd recommend the one with the clasp, over the tang buckle.

    If it is the meteorite part you really like I think you should consider this one:

    For me it is the best combination of the traditional Speedmaster with a twist:thumbsup:

    It's a cool piece, but does it work on your wrist? Are you interested in a ceramic watch with rose gold accents?

    It's already in my collection. The grey side meteorite would complement it.
