No, it’s not. Walk into any AD and see if you can get a sub, gmt, how about a Daytona? What about an explorer II. Didn’t think so. Go gray, you are paying well above MSRP. That’s simply not the case with the speedy. Either one of us can get a speedy pro at MSRP and most likely less.

Now, to be clear, in my opinion the Speedmaster may be the most important and historically relevant wristwatch period. But it’s not the same comparison when we are talking price.
