• My wife and I had a daughter last week and I figure it’s the time to splash out on a Speedmaster Moonwatch as have wanted one for about 10years and will never have money again.

    What’s the Forum approved method of buying? Are there any recommendations on getting a good price or is it best to go for a second hand one? If so, are places like watch finder any good in ensuring it isn’t a fake :-/

  • Watchfinder will be legit watches but not the cheapest place to buy. Everywhere else it's buyer beware time and if you want vintage, make sure you know exactly what you want and what's right and not right on it.

    My suggestion would be as JB says, tap ejay up and see what he can do for you, since nearly-new prices are rather punchy right now with the recent model changeover, and people seem to be thinking that people value the old 1861 more and the new 3861 more simultaneously.

    I bought my Speedmaster from ejay, as did a number of others here, and can highly recommend him.

    (Oh and congrats by the way!)

  • There isnt a good copy of the speedmaster. So you are safe in that regard. All my transactions through chrono24 were good. Dont know how the situation is in the UK with taxes now though..

    A couple of videos of that white dial tudor though and i might have mine up for sale :)

  • Congrats @Manson7am, You can never go wrong with a Speedmaster... My advice would be to join the Omega Forum (https://omegaforums.net) where there is a huge amount of info, and generally some very nice watches for sale, from other enthusiasts, or professional sellers..

    Of course @ejay2.0 should also be your 1st port of call for I think new/newer Speedies.

    Chrono24 always seems to be at the very expensive end of things...

    Good luck with your search

  • As per others, ejay2.0 is the go to. He supplied mine.
    Ed - still saying thanks! Still love it 😁
