Something you don't see every day, one of the Japanese Limited Edition "Galaxy Express 999" Speedmaster Pros:

Seller's feedback being 3 and price being high its not something I'd be buying personally but its still pretty cool and something I've not seen before:

There was one for sale from a Japanese seller a few months back, I dont remember what it went for.

$5,200 is pretty expensive for a fancy case back 😝

I agree. I found it hard to justify significant premium for limited edition version of a watch which does not have any difference in dial, case, material or movement.

The problem also is that there are so many more desirable (in my view) editions available that you could get with that money. This seems like a flip watch.

It went for around $2,600ish from that Japanese seller 😀

A more realistic price I would say.

The same goes for many limited editions, even the Soyuz seems to vary wildly in price.

They aren't that rare. My source in Japan sees them all the time when scanning the used markets. Nice piece for someone who remembers the good old anime.

I love this quirky speedmaster. A great ode to Leiji Matsumoto (who incidentally made some of my favourite Daft Punk videos).

When I can afford it, this will be the first Speedy that I get!
