I bought this dial below in December '16, I wouldn't rate it much weaker than the 3k $ one, I payed 1100$, probably would have gone up to 1700 because ..I was in need. But a tripling within 3 months? Who needs that, who is willing to afford this evolution in the short and mid term?
Do you think this is some new phenomenon? It's not like the current market for Speedmasters has invented the swapping of parts.
if you use actual original correct parts, is it really not "correct"? are we chasing ghosts at this point?
I do not have the knowledge to provide an answer based on the provenance and condition of the watch, but irrespective the first question I would ask you is about the context of your purchase. Do you just want one nice vintage Speedmaster to wear, either alone or part of a broader modern collection, or are you wanting this as the first piece of a serious vintage collection you are starting?
What do you guys think of this piece?
