Would you consider a vintage Speedmaster? I initially tried a new one just out of curiosity as I’d discounted it on size and then slowly discovered as I read more that I like the aged lume on the indices and hands, greying dial, early bracelet etc.
I think @ejay2.0 posted a nice picture of his new and old ones side by side...

Interesting last few pages. This watch thing is fascinating. Why buy a watch? It tells the time - Casio £8 on Amazon. Fancier watches can be more expensive but still tell the time.
Buying to wear - buy what you like.
Buying to invest - get advice from an expert and splurge the cash (and cross fingers)
I found the PP discussion most interesting and I still don’t really understand what happened at the end. If I liked the watch, I’d buy it and it seems it may have been a bargain.
I’m still pondering buying a good watch but I’m coming to realise that I should buy what I like and not what a general consensus of opinion thinks. I might ( likely) go and have another look at a Speedmaster on my own and see if my opinion has changed.
Some lovely watches over the past few pages too. I’ll drool in my coffee.
