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.

Thanks for the advice. I've been the Omega store here in Singapore today and a moon watch was $7150 which works out as being £4200. I've found them advertised in the UK for £3,300 so prices seem even more inflated over here. I think it maybe best to get one in the UK and then pick it up when I'm next over or get my parents to bring it on their next visit. If I can get one at that kind of price, I'll buy a new one.

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?
