Speedmaster. The explorer doesn’t really do much for me but I love the iconic look of the moon watch.

Need more detail about your thinking.
I was with a top seller last week and actually contemplated the same. He said the speedy will be crap on second hand market. Cool watch to add but don’t flip for it. Exp (like most Rolex) will retain value and possibly even appreciate a bit. Speedy is a bit less practical with with less water resistance and manual wind (not a big deal to most). It is a bit more interesting to look at. The Exp is as simple as it gets. Still a beauty but understated beauty (possibly boring). If I had to pick one, Explorer. If I had a Sub or GMT, or other sports Rolex, and was adding an Exp or speedy, it is a draw. Can’t go wrong. Exp will be more liquid. Both super iconic. Speedy a bit more interesting. |

In the same boat as the OP......I have the funds to purchase my first Rolex, and my heart is set on an Explorer. But the Speedy Pro intrigues me......I was born just after the moon landings and was named Neil.....so I feel I really should have a so called Moonwatch.

Who cares?
I forgot we were buying watches to flip and make money. People need to stop focusing on money so much. I get it, you don't want to spend 5000-10k-20k and lose +50% on it. You buy something because you love it. |

If you can buy a speedmaster moon second hand even ones very new and you won't lose money on it. Buy at full rrp and you will.

Agreed. However, it is important to some people and it is a fact which can be disregarded if not relevant to you. When someone starts a “this vs that” thread, is it wrong to point out a fact? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I had a Speedmaster for 4 months and just got rid of it today for a Hulk so I'd go for the Exp1. Nice watch and thought I'd love it, but it didn't do it for me at all.
