Yup, heard some bugger on facebook group say the older speedmaster 861, 1861 movement discontinued and resale value can ask higher price now. I LOLed

Why not?
1861 probably not but 861 definitely yes

Can find a NOS at 6k+ I think is a good buy Liao.
For 3k extra, consider if these are worth it:
- new movement, a bit extra power reserve and accuracy
- stepped dial with less markings per second
- cosmetics: new seconds hand and tapered bracelet + clasp
For me, I’ll stick to my 311...005

its quite subjective.

there's 2 camps on omegaforums, some say worth some say not worth.

for me, i probably stick with the 005.

 

[ceestudent]

go AD see see look look end up bringing it home

Nice looking watch. Can i know what is your wrist size?

I think the service interval is longer with new movement. At least 2x as recommended by omega. From inventor of escapement I recall can go longer even without the silicon escapement

As for watching you own a older speedy I don’t see a need to buy new one much like every watch lol

 

[fade_white]

If one day omega makes a sapphire ‘moonwatch’ without milky ring, I’d grab it in an instant.

Does anybody know of a few reputable watch service centers who can service a fortis cosmonaut eta 7750 movement? An estimate cost for the servicing would be appreciated since it's my first time servicing the watch.

hehe thanks for the sharing guys! managed to get offers of 5k+ for the 005 BNIB will probably settle for it.

5k+ is a good price... Congrats bro
