These speedys are a nice pair!


I like these two. So similar but so different. Interesting combo for sure.

Excellent combination! Fond of both, but the gold one is incredible.

The moonshine apollo 11 is interesting - also has great prices compared to gray for SS or gold daytona. Theyve now gone up a little, but are still obtainable. The caseback and movement are particularly neat. Nevertheless, hesalite speedy in SS is the one to wear.

Just checked it out on Chrono24.

These 50th Anniversary Apollo 11, Gold, Limited Edition, Speedmasters ... are definitely available. (They run about $40K, full set)

Frankly, that’s about the same price as a YG Daytona, but they’re certainly more special!!!

Reallly pretty!

I actually agree with that. They're more special and preferred.

The gold Speedy is an Omega grail, but I just picked up the Tokyo 2020 "Rising Sun" and WOW. It's a stunning watch with the same burgundy bezel. Photos really don't do it justice, I tried to take some of outside/inside, but this watch really pops in person.

It might be my favorite Speedy in my collection now. For 1/4 the price you really can't go wrong if you're looking for a light dial Speedy.

Thanks in advance.
