Having been pretty much exclusively immersed in vintage omega watches since last fall when I stumbled on a picture of a solid gold connie deluxe has been a hoot but... Yep I fell in love with the designs from the '50's not to mention the fact that the 35mm wear well on my small 6.5" wrists. Thanks to this forum I have learned quite a bit since then. Like many newbies who don't do their homework before purchasing a vintage piece I learned I overpaid for my first vintage omega. Though it could have been a lot worse! By way of the WRUW thread I have seen some lovely moderns especially those that are vintage inspired. I am drifting between various models. My question is about a particular speedmaster that I think is a stunner. The contrast of rose gold and stainless is striking and I love the broad arrow design. Now most likely is not the right time for an investment of this size but I am curious. I have not found comps as to value or much background on this one. Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Speedmaster Broad Arrow 42MM 18K Rose & S/S Chrono M-321.90.42.50.13.001

This is certainly a beauty, but its price is too high. These Speedy automatic never gain popularity among collectors, possibly because of no provenance to moonwatch or its movement is not respected enough.
The modern watch department is such a challenge for me! My problem is every time I consider putting money into a modern omega I can't help but to think it would be money better spent on a less common and IMO often more beautiful and collectible vintage piece. Nevertheless I think 2-3k contemporary omega is in my future. Now I'm leaning towards a ceramic smp 300 but can't decide between blue or black!
