Speedmaster Moonphase 3875.30 - some guidance needed

Hi dear community

I need some guidance and I hope that it won’t break rules here

I have the following piece since 2003, I’m the first owner



It’s a beautiful piece imho, but I wore so little that really, I don’t remember the last time I did

So, I’m wondering now to sell it or not. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a reference for its market value.

Is there any idea to help me out?

Best

Look up the piece on Chrono24 or watchfinder to get an idea of the market value.

Hello, I am not sure of the value and whether you should sell or hold but I have to say that is a truly beautiful watch. Do you have any idea of the size of the watch? I have read 36mm and also 39.5mm. Thank you for sharing and good luck whatever you decide.

According to Wristwatch Annual 2003, there is a Speedy Moon Phase in stainless steel, cal. 1866 (manual winding), with sapphire crystal and reptile skin strap (reference number 3875.30.31). It goes for $4,995.

If I were out browsing watches for sale on the popular forums, I guess I wouldn't be surprised to find your watch offered in the $4k - $5k (USD) range. Just my gut feel, and not based on any actual browsing for this actual watch.

If you're not sure whether to sell it, then don't.

Thank you Robert

In fact, I had to browse thousands of Speedmaster at Chrono24, or so it appeared to me. Either the reference were not displayed or wrongly put.

Fact is I could find none same as mine, just one with bracelet and 5 more with different blue indexes, which is 3575 ref.

I was surprised this watch was so difficult to find, also got just a couple in Europe and one in Singapore. There’s no market value that could be ascertained from such a little sample.

Thank you, Randy. Yes, that was the original MSRP price.

Watch has been issued 2001 and stopped production in 2005, so little run

Thank you Tony

I agree that would be a good bet, given so little numbers are available for sell

I thought that it would be much more and therefore easier to get the mkt price.

Starting to think if the watch is rare as it appears to be

Watch is quite rare as Omega doesn't even make a 42mm Speedmaster moon phase in SS anymore even though it's still on the website.

You can ask Omega forums too to see if they can provide more information.
