·1980's/90's Speedmasters are not rare. There are plenty around and they offer great value IMO as the tritium from this period often has a lovely colour. Furthermore, they as they are still reasonably new, they can be found in good condition, yet prices are reasonable as they are too old to be considered new (or current model), yet too new to be vintage.
If you're wanting a good daily wearer, there is no need to pay this premium. Spend a bit of time looking (consider getting in touch with some of the main sellers on the forum?) for a good example, get it serviced and you're good to go?
I'm looking for some time already, I'm from Europe, so the market is much smaller (looking at Chrono24, ebay and here) and I do not know any dealer on this forum form EU so far. So most of the examples I have found so far overpriced or too questionable (history / conditions).

·I can tell you from multiple personal experiences that in Europe, if you are buying from a vintage watch dealer, you are paying 15 to 40% premium, generally close to 40% (upto watches 20K USD roughly)That premium buys you peace of mind and lets you free from any possible hassle that will arise from online purchases.

·I'm in Europe too but they do pop up.
The premium for dealers is peace of mind (but not always!), occasional warranty, but also ease. If you're impatient, you'll often need to pay the dealer premium. If you can wait, learn what to look for and then pounce when the right one comes up, they can be had considerably cheaper.

·Absolutely yes 😀 It's worth a lot more actually. Where and when you will find another NOS? How many worn 3570 are out there? Gazzilion. I certainly won't sell mine for that price.
Now fast forward 10-15 years from now and compare a 1991 tritium NOS vs worn 3570? 😀
If it doesn't come with the box and papers, it's really not NOS, and thus not worth much of a premium.

·Now this one for me would be a much more appealing deal, even if it's a bit on the pricy side. Full set, great condition, tritium... what's not to like ...
