It’s so great seeing the excitement for a first and grail purchase. After buying and selling watches for quite some time it’s sometimes hard to feel that kind of excitement all over again, to me it’s kind of a slow burn, you love the watch so you buy it, if you keep loving it you’ll keep it. Anyways congratulations Marc on an excellent first/grail watch purchase, you know you’ve got the right one when you feel excitement and happiness like that.

The hesalite Speedy was my first luxury piece also. It was my daily driver for six years, and it taught me a lot about what I wanted in a daily piece. Despite my eventual need for an automatic movement, a case smaller than 42mm, higher water resistance, and a better fitting bracelet, it is still one of my favorite dials ever. I have a ceramic no-date Sub as my daily now, but I am always tempted to get another Speedy....perhaps a FOIS.

Ive bought four new Hesalite Speedmasters over the past four years. After not wearing one for a few months, I’d sell it, then a few months later I’d buy another. I felt like I HAD to appreciate it or there was something wrong with me. The big box was cool, but I just never enjoyed wearing it. It felt and looked like a generic watch to me. It’s horological significance meant nothing when it was on my wrist. I’ve accepted that the Moonwatch is just not for me. It’s a great watch- it’s just not for me. On the other hand, I love my 50th Anniversary Seamaster GMT!

@Alexandros, sue me. The Mark II is big, bulky and unattractive. And the reduced is ETA garbage with exorbitant service costs. You might as well throw it away and just buy a whole new watch instead of taking it in. You love them so much, you buy them.

@@kwangmingtan1351 It's very safe, as fake watches really aren't a thing you need to worry about when it comes to retail shops here. As for assurances, that's on the buyer. You should be very familiar with the model you are looking to get, and make sure everything checks out. After that, I usually take pieces to RSC for an overhaul shortly after getting them, and that provides another check that everything's alright.

This is an authentic Omega Speedmaster. I'm not sure of you're trolling or are genuinely ignorant, but I'll assume the later; watches are separated from their boxes and papers for many reasons, so that's not much of an indication of authenticity (also, considering box and papers are easier to fake than the actual piece).
