Omega speedmaster moonwatch cost?

[colin81]

I used to own a 16610 sub which I sold (massively regret) I want a new watch budget £2k what is the best price I will find a moonwatch for? I will always want a sub but cannot afford one now it was £2250 new in 2005 amazing how they have gone up. The moonwatch seems the next best option. Any cost ideas? Best I can find is swiss watch direct

[colin81]

Why dom, surely I can get it cheaper online? I also like the Tudor black bay? Would you get the moonwatch or the black bay? I am also hoping it holds its money

[colin81]

Do you have more details please?

[colin81]

I would love too but I cannot justify the £4500 for a used watch I want to pay £2k

[colin81]

I will get a used moonwatch or a black bay easily probably for £1500

[colin81]

Tudor black is easy to get off ebay very cheap but I want the moonwatch

[colin81]

I simply asked people's advice on cheapest place to get the watch? Not for people to be arrogant not everybody has £1000s to spend willy nilly it's a big decision and I would like the best price or possibly a nearly new one I may have to up my budget looking at the reactions I have got. Sorry to anger people

[colin81]

Thanks I will try don. What watch would you go for? Moonwatch or black bay?

[colin81]

Thanks for advice I may go for a Tudor

[colin81]

After having the sub the Tudor or moonwatch will feel like a cheap replacement. But with kids etc I cannot afford a sub. The tudors seem a lot cheaper used pegalos £2k ish and black bays £1700 ish the moonwatch seems to hold value better. I will keep looking

[colin81]

Really like the black bay with the red bezel with stainless strap and leather strap any ideas on one of these best prices? I'd jump at one if I could get one for £1600-£1700

[colin81]

You know your stuff don!!!!! I'm just going off eBay and other sites all seem to be £1700-£2100 used the black bay with red face. If you know of one cheaper let me know your very helpful 👍

[colin81]

Any more ideas for £2k or under? i do like a nice leather strap? black strap ideally. Want it to hold value if i decide to sell. Must be some £3k list watches out their for £2k i have missed?

[colin81]

What do people see as the next best to the Sub at a lower price? Is the moonwatch the most popular and most likely to hold value better lets say if i decided to upgrade in 2-3 years?

[colin81]

Very solid watch, same colour black and silver and a good history, can you think of anything else, key thing is it holds value and max £2500-£2700 new after discount.

[colin81]

Spanner in the works..... this is 20 years old is it worth that much?

[colin81]

I am, I'm no expert. Moonwatch, explorer 20 years old or Tudor?

[colin81]

Thanks for the great advice. I suppose a old Rolex is never going to lose much and as you say I could customise it with a new strap etc. I will look at some. Had a look at don hacketts site just out of my range. What's people's thoughts on old air kings? Is the explorer a lot better?

[colin81]

Ok I will go down the used explorer route at least it gets me a Rolex again 😄 I will start looking now I can't go above £2500 and that's £1000 cash I've saved and getting £1500 off a credit card I'm not wealthy like some on here

[colin81]

advice taken......... i will leave it maybe get a cheap watch for now
