Picked up a nice gen Speedmaster today

[Martyd3]

It is amazing what you can get for about the cost of three reps

Sweet. Is it a Cal. 861 movement?

Sweet. Is it a Cal. 861 movement?

Yes, it is about 20 years old, so it should have a Cal. 861. I have not cracked it open. Was just serviced in the past year and winds as smooth as butter

Hey...no subdial spacing issues!!!

Sweet piece and yes...that 3 rep to one gen logic is tough to beat sometimes.

Timeless designs ... that is a good topic. Definitely the Speedmaster and Rolex Submariner/Seadweller. What other watches are in this category? Heuer Carrera, Rolex Daytona, Patek Nautilus???

Beautiful ... one of the few watches left on my short list.

Congrats Martyd3! Certainly a timepiece icon.

That just happens to be my wrist check watch today -you have good taste Mine is a 2000 but I swapped the bracelet out for an older, lighter 1171 style.

Mind to tell how cheap I can pick up such a piece up?

[Guest Sql_pl]

Beautiful watch.

Will add one to my collection this year too.

Can't decide if I prefer sapphire or acrylic crystal yet... Definately closed caseback!

Enjoy it

Nice pickup, that's a CLASSIC. Your logic makes total sense, you can enjoy that watch for 5 more years and sell it for the same price if not more than what you paid for. Enjoy it!

Is that band stock or aftermarket? There's a gap between the band and the lugs. Beautiful watch, still afforadable.

[Ylfig]

Very nice, I really have to get one.

Like the guys said, great investment.

When I bought my gen Speedy it hadn't been worn at all and the bracelet had the new protective seals stiil in place. I took the bracelet off and wore it on a black leather punched (rally style) strap instead. Now I have just taken delivery of the same 1171 bracelet and haven't fitted it yet - thanks for showing me what'll look like.
