Vintage Omega Speedmaster Market Report — October 31, 2026

Zero verifiable realized sales for a second straight week, October 25–31, 2026, across all nine vintage Speedmaster references — four watches looked sold and none of them was, asking medians moved on mix not momentum, and Geneva's marquee auction rooms have not opened yet.Enjoying the show?

Vintage Omega Speedmaster Market Report — October 24, 2026

Zero verifiable realized sales across all nine vintage references for October 18-24, 2026 — Antiquorum's New York sale printed no verifiable Speedmaster lot, the timed platforms printed nothing, and the week's one claimed eBay sale failed verification and was withdrawn. Rich unpacks why an honest zero matters, the Bulang tropical-dial Ed White that left the board at a nineteen thousand euro ask (a removal, not a result), and why on hold and reserved are not sold.

Straight Writing: The One Word That Moves the Price

Straight Writing: The One Word That Moves the Price — On the Omega Speedmaster 145.022-69, the most valuable sentence in collecting isn't on the dial; it's on the back. Rich and Marlowe walk the caseback timeline — the Pre-Moon seahorse back, the 1970 Straight Writing backs that first printed "The First Watch Worn on the Moon" in four straight lines, and the medallion back that followed — plus the NASA permission delay that held deliveries until 1972, the transitional -68 that really debuted the calibre 861, and an honest look at what our own nightly market sweep says the words are worth: an asking price is a hope, not a result, and the premium belongs only to the watch that agrees with its own caseback.Subscribe: https://speedmastergonzales.com/subscribe/

Back to the Moon, On Time — Artemis III Rehearses, Artemis IV Lands | Speedy Tuesday — Speedmaster Gonzales™

Back to the Moon, On Time — NASA redrew the Artemis road map this week: Artemis III becomes an Earth-orbit rehearsal in 2027, and the crewed landing moves to Artemis IV in 2028. At the green velvet table, Rich and Marlowe work through what actually changed, why Apollo 9 is the answer to every "delay" headline, and what "the Moonwatch waits one mission longer" honestly means — the X-33 flies the missions; the mechanical Moonwatch carries the story. All dates labeled as NASA states them: planned, and subject to change.

Vintage Omega Speedmaster Market Report — October 17, 2026

Two verified sales, both at Catawiki and both calibre 861: a 1971 145.022-71 at €4,300 on October 11, below its €6,500–€7,200 estimate, and a no-reserve 145.022-68 at €3,100 on October 13 — while all seven other references, including every calibre-321 reference, recorded no verifiable realized sale. Rich unpacks why timed no-reserve results clearing far below dealer asks are the week's real story.Enjoying the show?

The Post-Moon 861

Marlowe joins Rich at the green velvet table with the question that splits collectors: when Omega replaced the column-wheel calibre 321 with the cam-switched 861, wasn't that a downgrade? The receipts say otherwise — the 861 rode in Apollo 17's command module, timing the heat-flow experiment while Cernan and Schmitt walked below, and went on to Skylab and the Shuttle. And the 145.022-71 — stepped dial, twisted lugs — became the hinge of the vintage market: the first Moonwatch built for a world that had already been to the Moon.

Vintage Omega Speedmaster Market Report — October 10, 2026

Two verified sales this week — both near $4,800, both working watches from the value end of the market. A 1968 145.012-68SP at Watch Collecting Hong Kong and a 1969 straight-writing 145.022-69 pre-moon at Bruun Rasmussen came in within thirteen dollars of each other, while the big-ticket pieces sat quiet. When only the cheapest honest watches change hands, the market is telling you where the money is.Enjoying the show?

Vintage Omega Speedmaster Market Report — October 3, 2026

A genuinely quiet week: zero verifiable realized sales across all nine vintage Speedmaster references for September 27 through October 3, while dealer asking prices held firm everywhere — the market is listed, not traded. Rich walks through five near-miss prices that failed the report's substantiation test and why, plus the asking landscape from the Ed White through the No NASA 145.022-71.Enjoying the show?
