    hello
    i am new to the forum.
    i was looking for an speedmaster cal. 321 for a long long time.
    recently i was tempted and i bought a 2015 speedmaster, i was very happy with it until i started wondering if i was impatience and i should wait and buy a 321.
    should i sell the new speedmaster?
    should i wait for a couple of months a buy a vintage one along side the new one (what is the point :) )

    what is your thoughts

    ..or hold on to your 2015 Speedy and in the year 2055, it will transform itself into a vintage! :)

    I think it comes down to why you want the watch.

    I had the same exact issue and sold my "modern" speedy hoping to one day get vintage piece....then I got distracted buying other stuff so now I have no speedy period.

    Enjoy your new speedy and wait until a nice 321 finds you.

    Wear and enjoy the watch you have. And at the same time spend every living minute searching for the other one you want

    I think you have a great looking speedy with warranty left in the bank. I would hold the current watch and see how it ends up resonating with you after some wear. There's no rush to flip.

    Easy. Sell everything and get a vintage Mark II.

    sell/sel/
    verb
    1. give or hand over (something) in exchange for money.
    2. persuade someone of the merits of.
    3. trick or deceive (someone).
    4. buy another watch (jargon) with the intent of selling one to fund it, but never actually selling the one you already had.

    You can never own enough Speedmasters.

    I think in addition to the vintage speedy, you should look at some of the LEs.

    Average number of speedies per Omega forum members with 3+ years membership is 3.25 speedies. Ok, well I have no idea if this is true, so I will offer this picture.

    I looked at 321s ended up buying a new one and am enjoying making it a vintage myself. Daily watch and gets the occasional bump and it adds to the charm of being mine. 20 years from now I will know how that bezel got a little dent instead of thinking how someone else done it. ( bezel has not got a dent yet but can't wait till it does )

    The exception is those that have "speedy hoarder" in their sub. Not sure what it takes to earn "speedy hoarder", my guess 50+ speedies. Can you imagine a GTG with 2 or 3 of the hoarders on this site?



    Or this...
