Hey OF,

It's my 30th Birthday in 12 days, so I would like to celibate that with a 30 year old Speedmaster. I want to be very sure that I get a speedmaster from 1990, so it needs an extract. I live in The Netherlands so my options are limited to Europe.

I have found this watch for 3850,- Euro

https://www.chrono24.nl/omega/speedmaster-professional-moonwatch--id13138903.htm

Do you think the price is reasonable? The hands also look concerning to me, are they original?

Thanks guys!

I’d so those numbers you’ve quoted should be in USD for a reasonable price. Since you want a specific year paying a 15-20% or so premium is reasonable, in this instance

For me the first one is better. And I guess is a birth year watch. Second one hands are destroyed.
First one hands seem ok for that watch.

But the one for sale in the forum does look sweet and pristine condition. Agree on that!!

First one looks to be a good example of the 3590.50. You'd be paying a lot for what you're getting though. Make sure you're happy to go without a bracelet, because the model correct bracelets (e.g. 1479 like on the second example) are getting pretty expensive when sold alone these days.

I love the model of the second one (3592.50) although it's not a great example for the money.

The second one appears to me to be a Apollo 20th anniversary of the first moon walk. Mine is from 1990.

Hmm 1990 with 17 jewels? Seems odd to me.

you would expect 18 marked 17 or maybe 18 marked 18...
