Hi folks

This circa 1967 Speedmaster just popped up in a shop near me, with an asking price of $8850AUD ($5725USD). I had been saving for an Explorer, but now this has me thinking. Could you please advise what you think of its condition? Many thanks in advance!

 

Wrong bezel, major lume loss. Not very attractive to look at.

 

That’s already good enough to warn me off it. Thanks so much.

 

Not to mention the fact that those are some of the worst pictures I've ever seen.

 

Yes, I agree their photos aren’t good. Doesn’t make it any easier. The one time I bought from them, I went in and took my own (bad) photos for pre-purchase feedback from a Rolex aficionado.

Have a good weekend folks.

 

Keep your money for the Explorer!

 

At this price it's a complete no go (for me).
I think this kind of watch must be valued by the price of its constituting parts.

 

Just get the Explorer instead

 

For me, I would say this is "worth" $3,000

If i was in a good mood and knew it would get the extract, then $3500

That dial is only good for re luming.

 

Thank you all for the valuable info. I am definitely gonna give it a miss.
