Speedmaster - tell me about this one...

I am slowly learning more about Omega watches - the speedmaster was one that caught my eye - in particular the one whichhasa black face and bezel (?) with the largish numbers - and the quite colourful highlights on teh face - it has a red seconds arm as well as some yellow and blue highlight here and there. Model number is - 3520.53.
I recently saw it on sale at a department store in Thailand - where I am currently working, for roughly USD 1,500. Since then, it has been sold, and I am not sure if it was an exceptional price or not. It was genuine - of that I am sure and they were offering the basic one year warranty.
How much do these watches usually go for, from a reputable dealer? DId I miss out? Are these speedmasters rated to the same degree of precision as the Seamasters?

I was also considering a Seamaster - What is s good price to get the black face, black bezel model (proffessional) for? And how much should I pay for a spare rubber strap?

Thanks for your help. Grant.
