It’s definitely driven by the moon landing anniversary. When Omega put prices up (and they have several times recently - feels like less than two years ago they were three grand, not four) second hand prices rise too.
Really depends on exactly what you want. Buying a new standard hesalite moonwatch in a tax-free way (airports / HK / etc) might be the best value. Personally I also think the First Omega In Space model is quite nice.
If you want a particular vintage look/execution eg tritium dial, you probably want to be watching Omega Forums rather than Chrono24, be patient and go for the cleanest one you can find. @inchpincher did his research and scored a beaut.

All this speedmaster talk has me spinning out. I've been given permission from the missus to get one but now trying to figure out what a good deal on one is, is driving me loopy. Not sure where I'd be best buying one (home: Canada where everything seems more expensive // UK: buy one used and get it back to Canada without having to pay tax // Singapore/Kuala Lumpur where I am at the minute). Prices seem to be high everywhere right now and I'm not sure if that's driven by the moon landing anniversary?
