    I saw this pre owned Speedmaster in a shop. Interesting dial and hands colors. I would like to have your opinion on desirability and fair price.......Thank you.

    These automatic reduced Speedmasters aren't favorites, sometimes called "women's" watches by the hard core Speedmaster fanboys. IMO it's a nice watch and you should be able to grab it around $1600, give or take a couple hundred depending on condition, box & papers, etc.

    Thanks for the info. Yes, the reduced Speedmaster with 1130/5 movement based on ETA 2892 seems not highly desirable. Probably I should stick with professional.
    Since I already have modern moonwatch (1861) , probably I will looking for the moonphase.

    This is actually a Valjoux 7751 rather than an ETA 2892+DD module so its more robust and easier to service, slightly larger than a reduced too

    Yep, definitely not a woman's. More of a Dennis size, very manly :D

    I think it would make a sporty casual everyday watch. :)

    Nope, both watches has the same movement, Valjoux 7751, no ETA 2892 involved.

    Yup, the 7751 is rock solid movement... Packs a whole pile of complications into one smallish movement!
