Speedmaster Reduced
Discussion
I have a Speedmaster Reduced (no idea on the exact model number at the moment, I'm at work), and it's a wee bit too small for my wrist, so I was thinking of Part-Exchanging it for a full sized Speedy, or selling it on (whichever gives greater value, a full sized speedy will be bought either way)
The problem is I don't have the box or original papers (didn't have them when I acquired the watch), it does have the nice red leather case given to me by STS when it went in for a service a few weeks ago (well, Months ago, I got it back a few weeks ago) as well as the paperwork from them, as well as all the old bits they replaced, but that's the lot.
Is this lack of box and paperwork going to shaft me on the price?

No, it being a Reduced will do that (but presumably you got it for a good price, so you'll be expecting it to be a fair bit less than the Moonwatch).
Depends where you sell, but with recent STS service history, I'd expect most people to consider that more relevant than knowing what year it was made...
I wouldn't worry that much personally.

If you do manage to move it on I'd be interested to know what you get for it. I'm looking to sell mine to part fund a new watch and the best offer I've had is £650 from a dealer. As the previous poster indicated the Reduced model is not that popular. As a new watch its a little too close in price to the 'proper' Speedmaster and it also has a movement which is tricky to fix when it goes wrong. I do still like mine but just never wear it.

k me, if that's all I can get for it I'll keep it, the service cost nearly half that!It's a shame, it's a nice watch, just a bit small for me.
Just got a slightly better offer for mine as a part ex against a used Rolex. I think with Omegas in general though you really do need to buy with a decent discount and even then expect to lose money if you look to sell / trade in. This applies even more so with models like the Speedmaster Reduced.
