    I have to sell one of these watches to finance my growing hunger for new pieces. I know they are in different priceranges, but if you could only keep one of these, who would it be and why?

    I’d keep the Connie... great every day watch. Get yourself a manual wind speedy.

    I'd be keeping the Speedmaster, but what do I know.

    I'd keep the one I use more. In this case that'd be the connie.

    Does anyone have insight to a fair price for the speedy? I tried 1500 Euro at my local facebook forum with no luck. Am i asking to much? It is in pretty decent condition. Crisp edges and case. Serviced 3 yago

    I would say Constellation is probably easier to replace down the road.

    I had some thought about this as well. I like and use them both equally. Wondering which one will likely increase its value more in case of a bb::book::

    The Constellation. The “C” cases have been undervalued for decades.

    The automatic Speedmasters are the red-headed stepchildren of the Speedmaster line. They are fairly expensive to begin with, cost more to service and don’t give you a high ROI, if that is what you are after.

    My opinion and YMMV.

    I would keep them both, and wait to add more pieces when you don't have to sacrifice either one.

    This is what I was hoping to do. But a flightmaster, a piece i have been wanting for a while, just flew into my grasp-range and I cannot help myself.

    One comes across as more of a tool watch and the other more of a suit/dress watch. The Connie as pointed out, is easier to replace . Gatorpca makes an interesting point about the Speedy automatic being the redhead kid (my mum was a redhead!!!)..Certainly way better quality and serviceability than the automatics of the modern reduced speedy line... There is after all the beating heart of a Lemania 1040/1045 in there.
    I'd sell it the connie and at some point in the future go looking for a fancier one.....but then I'm not really into Connies....
