Speedyorite Box

SurvivingJoe · Jul 16, 2020

I acquired a pre-owned Speedyorite recently which is in good status w/ cards, but unfortunitely it's a special sell to Omega Staff so only came w/ a simple plastic case instead of the LE Box. A quick search from Bay shows there's only 1 list asking for 600 Euro. I'm wonderring what's the decent price to buy the BOX.

Decent price is the best price you can find.
I know that sounds stupid but its a LE box, most people keep them so the ones that are available are limited.
When a seller has the only one for sale he can ask whatever he wants, of course he may not get it and you can offer whatever you are willing to pay but in this case its a sellers market till someone lists another one.

Can you find recent listings of the watch that is for sale or has sold with box and others without box to see what the difference in resale is? May help you decide if its worth it or not.

Well, there were only 1975 originally out there, probably a good chunk were thrown away and the ones that remained are probably with owners who would want to keep it.

Two options I can think of, post a WTB on the forum and see if you can get an owner to part with it, or call your OB and see if they can help, maybe with proof of ownership they can order another box, I have no idea if that's possible, but doesn't hurt to ask.

This thread needs a picture.

There’s another one up on eBay - not perfect but cheaper and probably the cheapest you’ll ever find - suggest you search for Speedmaster Apollo...

Thanks, though this one is much cheaper but the box is in quite poor status... I couldn't image to put it into my cabinet🤦. But I managed to use it to bargin the other piece price drop to 400Euro which looks acceptable.

Solid method, let me try.

I’m really not bothered about boxes, but I suppose I would be if I ever sell mine as the buyer would probably prefer the full set. Until then it stays in a tub in the attic.
