To make a short story long....many moons ago I decided on a Sub over a Speedy. After that I went for an AT Chrono, bypassing the Speedy once again. To make things even worse I added a Panerai and a JLC after that. Now I feel almost guilty that the speedy has been overlooked for so long. So time to act!

Anyway, I have found this 3570.50.00 Speedmaster. It's a 2006, comes with papers, has had a light polish, and comes with a 12 month movement warranty. Asking price is AU $2,999.

Can i have some opinions on this watch/price pls.

Also should I be going for the Hesalite or a sapphire?

looks clean and probably a fair price. i bought my first speedy like yours and it was a preowned 2005 model. i paid SGD2700 then iirc.

maybe just need to buy the seller.

I've owned a couple of dozen Speedy Pros over the years and that one looks good to me.

And I personally prefer the hesalite over the sapphire. The sapphire has a "gray halo" around its edge next to the bezel that obscures the dial. Plus the hesalite has a warmer look and feel.

Go for it.

Price is a little high but if it's coming from a store i can understand the mark up

I can't really help on price, but it's a sharp watch. You'll love the bracelet and clasp as much as the watch

The price is a bit high for a hesalite version. I paid $2700 US for my mint speedy sapphire.

I paid about $2400 for a very nice 3570.50 about 6 months ago. Probably less than 10 years old with B&P. I regularly see used Speedy's sell for $2,500 or less.
