Which Speedmaster to Add Next? Collection Advice

I've been collecting and enjoying watches now for many years, and have learned a few things in the process. One of those things is that the Speedmaster is my favorite watch, all things considered.

I've now accumulated enough Speedmasters to either require a bigger box, or a second one, which got me thinking about what else I might want to consider (eventually) adding to this set.

Given the current state of the collection - which includes 5 modern Speedy Pros, 5 neo-vintage Speedy Reduced and two "non-Pros" - what might you consider adding here?

On my "when the right watch appears list":

- 145.022 w/ 220-error bezel
- and maybe a Blue dial Schumacher or Cart 3510.81/0

EDIT: I realize there is a lot here to enjoy and be grateful for, and I'm in no hurry to add things. I also realize that there are a lot of corners of the Speedmaster Universe that I am not familiar with, and curious to get some feedback or suggestions.

Great Speedy Collection.

There is still some Gold and Platin or Titanium missing...
If you like to stay with Steel you should look for Snoopy 1 and 2.

Have fun and enjoy the Speedys,
Hans

Honest Opinion and I am biased as I own one but I think the Alaska is one of the best Speedmasters ever made, you could defo consolidate some of the things in the box to part fund, alternatively ...... go gold hahah

What a wonderful collection you have there. Have you considered adding a precious metal speedy? I think that would be the next progression, if precious metals isn’t in consideration, I would try to add the previous generation of Snoopy award speedmaster.

There is something special about a gold Speedmaster. Once you try one on you will get hooked.

You have a pretty awesome collection.

You should get a PM or a two tone Speedmaster.

If it is not to big for you how about the GMT chronograph with 100 mtr WR in Titanium ; HB-SIA from the Solar Challenge mission.
Excellent allrounder for travel, hiking or diving.

That collection deserves the Apollo 11 50th (that's the beautiful gold and burgundy replica of the watch the astronauts were given, right?)

Oh yes, both are beautiful!

The original and its reincarnation 👌

Love all the suggestions. Keep 'em coming.

I hadn't considered the ST1/ST2. A PM version could make a lot of sense - especially the one directly above. hmmm.

There's also, and I normally don't like precious stones, but there's a version with a sapphire bezel which is just amazing. I don't have a reference for that one.

Very nice collection 👍

I would consider,
1. Enamel dial 50th Ann. caliber 3201, the "High Horology" speedy
2. Meteorite Apollo-Soyuz
3. Alaska Project
4. 1957 Trilogy
5. 45th Ann. Titanium

If I had your collection, I’d venture into getting a 310.60.42.50.99.002. That’s probably one of my favorite PM’s you could get new and I’d for sure think you would be able to get a proper discount from the AD who’s inclined to sell one.

Do you really want/need another Speedmaster? You have 12 in a wide variety, what is driving you to get another one? My view is if you have to ask strangers what you should buy next you really don't need another one at this point.

Shush. We're spending someone else's money. It's fun 😀

The gem set pieces are not for me. Perhaps the 50th in gold, but more for what it represents than actually liking it. Honestly at $50k USD for a gold Speedmaster, my mind wonders to things like the Royal Oak, a PM Daytona, etc.

I am (very) interested in vintage, and neo-vintage (which I think of as 80's and 90's), but I cut my teeth with vintage Seiko - and know enough to know that I "don't know enough" to source original examples without a lot of help - or a trusted partner helping with the shopping.

I've got the 145.022-69 on my radar (w/ 220 error bezel because it is meaningful to me), but what else might be worth the chase?
