There is something that I like to share... Have you guys kept something away and forget about it till some years later? I found one of my quartz beater today.

I remember this watch for that instance where i knocked into my friend's new watch (the next day after he bought it) and left a ding. :s13:.

Wound this Swatch up recently and it's still ticking, from 1991 according to the dial. Lugs disintegrated.

I’ve been looking at a few Speedmaster on Carousell’s and some of the older ones are being sold for less than 2k.

Is there anything I should look out for? I’m in the market for a 2nd hand speedmaster.

You might remember me having owned the SDC too. It was my fav watch until I got bored with the busy bezel, satin dial and tall case. End up flipping it for a profit and moved to other watches. After several divers in between, I’m back to square one. The SubC but this time the Sub 114060. If you are undecided, suggest to keep the SDc and get a used 116610/114060 and decide again after few weeks/months. For me, I don’t regret it.

Those are reduced speedmaster. Automatic one.
Not the original speedmaster

Thanks cyrenic bro. :) I still love my SD4000!



Thanks GX bro..am still unsure if the Sub C is going to be a short term love affair, but my feelings toward it are getting stronger lol



Thanks for the solid advice bro TRT. I'm thinking the exact same thing actually..plus the fact that one can do no wrong with a iconic classic like the Sub.

Tried on my buddy's SubC Date yesterday..am really digging the wider lugs and cleaner bezel..at this point I'm liking the Sub C's wrist presence more...

Sub c wears like a 42 mm although its 40mm diameter thanks to the wide lugs.. If you like wrist presence it will suit you well, plus the shiny ceramic bezel reflects light really well:D
