Thanks for the interesting article. FWIW below are my most preferred Gold Speedmaster watches:

1. Any 1969 Gold Speedmaster awarded to an astronaut,
2. Apollo XI 25th Anniversary While Gold as pictured here - https://omegaforums.net/threads/spe...edmaster-apollo-xi-models.90591/#post-1173266 - and discussed here - https://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-omega-speedmaster-chronometer-white-gold/

 

You missed it several years back the 18K Speedmaster given to President Richard Millhouse Nixon was on the auction block.....with box.....

That looks awesome

 

Love to see,

My No1 is your No1 - Good morning Austria!

There is something special about a solid gold Speedmaster. Years back I had the opportunity to try on a friends gold Speedy and I was immediately hooked. I bought this a few years back. The seconds pic is my friends bracelet that he let me borrow a few times!

The article talks about the 5 best gold Speedmaster watches. I think it could have easily been expanded to 10 best. So many wonderful offerings in solid gold!
