There was a time less than a decade ago that you could get really nice examples for that money. With original bracelets they were under $600.
I remember not too long ago, you can buy a 69,71,74,78 Speedmaster good condition for just 2000$ ish...eh...good old days...

Wow...are these really Genta designs?....I didn't know that....very cool...

My interpretation of C-cased constellations is for the Gerald Genta designs.

Ok, I've officially been converted from a hater to a lover of these c-cased Connies....just wish they were a tad bigger, like 36mm, instead of 34?

This has become my absolute favorite vintage watch to wear for work. I love the ostrich band, but if I could attach the 1040 bracelet I have, I鈥檇 never stop wearing it! [photo posted in a different thread earlier.]
