Speedmaster, time to decide and hunt

If you like this but don't want the reduced movement. The pre-racing dates....

Let's confuse things more lol.

If I was you, I would be keeping an eye out on this auction. It could be a good buy depending on price with minute or 2 left

And if I was dead set on automatics, I would be looking at these 2 models:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Japan-Limited-Speedmaster-Automatic-3510-82-From-Japan-/272536336687
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Stainless-Steel-18k-Yellow-Gold-Speedmaster-Watch-/182440599160

Not sure what a good price for these 2 is, as I never looked into it.

You have way too many models that you are looking at. Cut down to 2-3 and focus just on those. Finally, i wouldnt buy a brand new watch, unless it was something super rare. I think I read that you can take 20% off what you paid as a new price the moment you walk out of the store with new watch. I will let someone else take that hit 😀

It's nickname is the Speedmaster Yemen. Even Omega has it on their website as search term via google. You can get more info and the reference with that. They come up every once in awhile.

UK based watch shop with the Yemen listed as in stock and asking 2,395. Looks to be in great condition, box but no papers. They offer a store warranty of 24 months. I don't know anything about Xupes but they have a brick and mortar shop you can swing by, check it out, and perhaps work a deal.

I messaged them to see what they'd do! Thanks!

Can't decide on what to get.....I don't plan to grab a 311.30.42.30.01.005 until the end of the year, but it is on my want list below. For now I wanna try to find a complete speedmaster, but I want something a little different then the black dialed we see a lot of. I can't be the only one!

Now while speedmaster threads are plentiful, I hope I don't upset too many people. I really want to do some good research before I make this purchase as I plan to only get 1. Since I only need 1, I'm gonna say that option 5 and 6 may be out for now haha, budget is 3k or less.

# 5 is the most eye catching one. Good Luck.
