    It’s the older (circa 2000) Omega Speedmaster 57 replica. Here, replica doesn’t mean it’s a fake — it’s just an early attempt by Omega to make a replica of the 57 Speedmaster. It’s a standard late 90s Moonwatch with different hands, dial, and bezel.

    From the pictures, it looks fine to me. Just be aware the chrono hands (including counters) are all metal and difficult to see in some lighting conditions.

    It’s value is that of a general Speedmaster Pro of that vintage with no service history, IMO. Based on that, it think it is priced too high, unless there is proof of a recent service and you really want the pseudo-57 look.

    Yep 3594.50, I used to have this. As did many people over here.
    Things to watch out for: the hands and applied logo on this model corrodes easily on some pieces. Careful.
    Sometimes (more often than not) the seller will have a good 1498/1499 bracelet with this model.
    Personally I think 3K euro is a bit too much for this model.

    The last price asking is 2000€. I wonder a little bit about that price falling :(

    I think it is because of the new and better Trilogy "replica model" which has been released recently - so perhaps several collectors have swapped to the new model... just a thought

    I think from what I've noticed it's the opposite, the trilogy speedy boosted interest in the 3594.50. I bought one for around 2.2k two years ago and now it's easily above that. But I just don't think it's at 3k euro levels just yet.
