I'm drawn to these too... but don't think I'll ever own one.
Two reasons:
1) The silver rings.
2) The sheer quantity of these available at heavy discount... that just sit there... and don't sell. That worries me.
Any chance of a steer towards the heavy discounts. I too am drawn to these and have been contemplating picking the phone up to my AD (where I think I could get 20% or thereabouts). TIA
Chrono 24, eBay, heck the AD in Heathrow Terminal 3 had one up for £2850 when I flew out of there in October.
OK, I know the sort of prices on C24, I thought you had seen an extra-super-duper-mega-deal somewhere. I am tempted to get one on a strap rather than a bracelet based on the Omega promotional pics. I wonder if Omega will fit a different bezel? I quite like the idea of a telemeter bezel.
Why does that matter?
On-topic, I personally prefer an older moonphase:
Or a new one:
hi Phil, may I recommend picking up a piece on the bracelet, and then buying the clasp (model no: 94521813) separately. The alligator leather used on the 3876.50.31 though beautiful, is much more expensive than their other leather straps made of calf-skin. With both the bracelet and the clasp, you can really make the watch versatile, to your hearts desire.
I doubt Omega would fit a different bezel, but should you be able to source a telemeter bezel, I'm sure any competent watchmaker would be able to make the switch. There are even a couple of videos on YouTube if you feel brave enough in doing it yourself!
Traveling the last day or two.....but will pile on with mine. After being without a speedy for more than 5 yrs this one started the whole thing up again..........
Sorry to resurrect this post but this is really intriguing.
Is it a 3876.50 but without the rings around the subdials because they faded off ?
If so, did you remove them yourself or did it happen through time ?
I have this reference but I'm a huge fan of the 345.809 and I felt like the 3876.50 would look better without the rings around the subdials so if they evolve that way, It's actually super cool lol

im a fan of speedmasters. To the point where I'm on my way to a small collection of them.
The professional moonphase model has caught my eyes a few times. But something always keeps me from buying. Would like your thoughts in favor or against.
