Original caseback, magnetic insert, crown and pushers :-)
Bracelet, no :-(. That’s a custom end piece one.

Hi Chef
Here’s some pictures, just for you.

Does anyone have a feel for current values as well please?
Cheers

Time, Joey. I’ve been collecting for over 15 years, maybe more. I’ll get down to two, then I’ll be done.

Folks,
I was lucky enough to get an immaculate Ed White several years back before the madness started, with a great set of memorabilia to boot. But I’m mostly done with watches now, and this is...
Hi all
Was there a view on how much discount you could get on these from a grey dealer in the UK? Did anyone get one in the end?
Cheers

Long gone - you mean Feb 2016? The one just on SC has beautiful tritium and a recent Omega service.
Hmm.
Im sure that the OP will notice that your worst case scenario is still cheaper second hand. The last time we had a no frills, not repackaged Speedy on here it went for £1600. The last time I had a...
Older ones on here are definitely below £2000, especially if you're not bothered about box and papers. The new ones are dearer mostly through a combination of marketing and packaging. If his interest...
I think there's a lot of WIS bias against Tag, especially in the UK. As the other poster states, the 1887 may be a Seiko design, but it has been re-engineered and then made by Tag, for details see...
Has anyone seen one of these in the flesh yet?

I think they look great and they seem to be...
I was clearly quoting someone else. Knocking Omega marketing is fair enough, and often deserved. Knocking the history of the Speedy itself, which is so well documented now, is just trolling.
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make, other than a gentle speedy bashing one. That Omega have massively over promoted it, special editioned it to death and even worse, called a bunch of...
So there's a reasonable price premium for the stick - what's the forum view on the extra premium - it seems to be about £7K in total - for a "rectangular"? And this is without the improved movement....
There are no UK discounts to be had from an AD - I don't think on any steel Rolex for that matter.
I would strongly advise the OP to try them both on and several times. The original GV is a lot...
I think you answered your own question :). Like the ones I mentioned, it probably hit a peak of £5-6K a few years back, and it's recent bump is more to the speculation on the new release than...
I think this is spot on. I've had, and tracked, limited edition Speedies for some time and none have ever done this. There was a little bubble at the height of the boom where the "prettiest" ones -...
Well currently it is at "mug pricing" but it does have two and a bit years of warranty left. Now grey new is about £4500 for a GV Milgauss, with a wait, and dealer price is about £4200-4300, normally...
Having started a thread on what I should expect in discount in buying a Milgauss from an AD vs grey, I actually stumbled on one in a local pawnbroker. Now this is an established pawnbroker with...
Yes, it's not "there" though. Delivery end of month.
So not too hopeful then. I was hoping to shoot for 15%, but is the consensus this isn't possible? No friendly forum ADs?
Cheers

Hi all
Is it possible to get a discount on a new Rolex "off the street" without a relationship with the AD? It would be a Milgauss GV which may help. Or am I going to have to go Grey via Iconic or...
You could use your rubber as a template obviously. I'm pretty certain someone did this on one of the US forums, from memory watchuseek.
Cheers
David
You're not looking to sell yours then :)
So why did you go from the black to the blue then?
Cheers
David
A really simple one, the black dial is par epargne, the white one isn't, but what about the blue dial?
Cheers
