Hi, I am looking for a Speedmaster and have my eye on a few on ebay, could I get your thoughts on these watches and the prices please. Thanks Nick http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351251182061?_trksid=p2060778.m2763.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191417473208?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141513881423?_trksid=p2060778.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
None are overly cheap but if you're urgently wanting a UK deal the second two modern ones would do the job, the first one is not old enough to be interesting as a vintage watch and not new enough to be worth modern money.
Thanks dsio - not urgent, but getting impatient and trying hard to resist an impulse buy. I think I'm leaning towards the second one, as I want the solid back rather than the transparent one, but there have been a few that have sold recently for several hundred less, so will sit it out and try and get the one I want.
I am looking at another one on ebay, and the pic showing the back of the watch, shows the end pieces with no number on them. All other end pieces look a little different and usually have a number on them - do these end pieces look correct? Thanks Nick
Be aware that display backs are pretty cheap for this case, if you want to buy one from a third party instead of buying one factory.
Thats an 842 endlinks with 1499 clasp. Tht particular bracelet didn't mark the endlinks. Weird but yeah.
You might also want to try somewhere like Iconic watches (I have no connection with them) as they are selling new Speedmasters for around the £2,300 mark - good luck with your search.
