Re: Trade Go Or No Go.....
dont jump too fast into the deal jus yet. bro, wats the speedy model?



cos speedy has many variants... some worth less than 1.2k,some worth over 3k etc... must see what model + calibre no.. and with papers+box sure will be more worth(say over 100-200 bucks extra),else determine factors are the model and calibre.



6105-8110, 6306-7001 and 6309-7049 market worth for the lot(say for acceptable ready to wear cond,agar agar price) ish ard = 800+ 500+250= 1.55k price and have to push higher for trade value ... agree guys?

According to him hor... caseback got black engravings wordings like first watch worn on the moon which make me think hor should be the first post-moon watch lei.... calibre should be 861 lor tio bo..... one thing for sure not the reduced type.... :lol: :lol:

Re: Trade Go Or No Go.....
861 and 1861 also have and just like a rollie sub,these were made for many years -> decades...



861 came out from late 60's till 1996(later years in 90's made for special edition,long time no more moonwatch)



after 1996 then 1861 came out for moon watch reissue etc.. and later seen used in limited edition models..

I knew he had..... actually he did ask me also..... I just told him good to go.... ;) But hor 1861 black engraving is very different if i'm not wrong..... just cannot recall.... :?: :oops:
oOsiMm
Re: Trade Go Or No Go.....
those years are just agaragar but 1969 is correct. 145.022 is the 861 cal moonwatch.



it stated in the site 1970 riao is 145.0022 so you probably check inside the caseback to verify if that speedy is 69 or 70 onwards model.

think can spot differences between a vintage 69 moon watch 861 and a sub-vintage 1861 by the caseback but best way to confirm is the inside caseback engravings (145.022, omega logo, clarity,etc...u knw all these riao...) must tally to a 861's..

true.... must go ah goh side to verify liaoz..... :lol: :lol: thanks!!



So the trade good to go bo if verify true..... :?: :?: Not update on current value of vintage speedy.



Some moon watch crystal got logo one and some bo.... so you know which is which bo??
oOsiMm
Re: Trade Go Or No Go.....
original vintage acrylic(mineral crystal-not sure) omega crystal got the tiny translucent logo imprinted in center. but vintage watches that's been used for so long sure at some point got crystal changed else it wouldnt be a looker on the wrist riao.. no problem for me as long as its made to fit crystal..



trade is good..cos u knw the value of your watches and the moonwatch better mah.. and moonwatch 861 is rising.. especially u can get the earliest 861 production with 145.022 rather than .0022 but both also good IMO

What's the market value of this vintage speedy? agar agar....



I knew my watches value but dun know speedy value..... :?: :?: :oops: actually i put trade value for all 3 are 1000+700+350 LOL.... all very very good difficult to find condition.... or else he won't be tempt also..... :lol: :lol:

Re: Trade Go Or No Go.....
ya I see your watches got standard one... so nw your watches trade value over 2k riao..



if its a 100% swee swee original 861,then I say ok to trade.. cos nw the value for 861 moon rised up riao.. also maybe due to supply and demand..



think a well used 861 moonwatch also can sell more than 2k,so if your friend one is in good cond,then nthing to lose riao.. cos u let go can sell for better price.
