driplpent 0 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) I really like chronometer watches. The Omega Speedmaster seems to me like the perfect watch, (in my price range). There are so many different types of 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 Speedmaster. Is there are resource that lists and explains different models? Given that I am a school teacher and poor, I need to look at the least expensive. Which models specifically should I look at ? Should I buy new or used? The least expensive new seems to be around 3.5-4 thousand dollars, which is really the extreme top of my price range.

sishac 0 Posted April 21 Just buy a Speedmaster Professional with a plastic crystal and be happy. It has great wrist presence, great legibility, great lume, and a great, handwound movement. It is Legend (wait for it) dary!!!!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinynewbling52 178 Posted April 22 I buy all of my watches used or from gray market dealers. Speedmasters are so common you'll see them all the time used. I would buy used. New prices are crazy especially for this watch. Plus you'll see there are really no good reps of the Speedmaster Professional so one less thing to worry about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, providing we are on a replica forum, and considering you wrote that you don't have a lot of money to spend on a watch, why don't you just buy one of the very good replicas (with perfectly working chrono inside) that are on the market? For instence a Longines BigEye: https://trustytime888.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=134&products_id=21767 Or an elegant Portofino: https://trustytime888.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=26785 Unfortunately in the latest years genuine brands started to load their chrono with complications and the result is that not a lot of good reps comes out in chrono form... Those 2 uppers are exceptions. Otherwise, go for the speedy as it's one of the few that haven't been replicated well (ever). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
