Re: Speedmaster Moon watch - what should I pay for this ?
In Response To: Speedmaster Moon watch - what should I pay for this ? ()

: I can get my hands on this watch, but am unsure as to the
: value(haven't discussed price with the seller yet). I assume
: it's a cal 861 Moon Watch, and will need a new bezel (are they
: available and if so how much ?) plus a service and poss a new
: cristal.

: The strap is original.

: Any thoughts gratefully welcomed !

: Cheers

: Jonny

The best estimate of value is what is actually being paid. Check e-bay completed auctions. I don't watch and buy enough Speedy Pros to offer an opinion.

Find out the era of this watch and look for successful completed auctions for watches with similar age and condition. Age of Speedmasters is determined by the movement serial number, which were (mostly) serially assigned.

You have considered most of the relevant questions.

Bezels are available from Otto Frei, and the case (as far as the bezel goes) hasn't changed since 1968.

Welcome.
