Picked up a 111 for next to nothing. So many bargains to be had these days with all the Rolex hype. Crazy.

The 111 is 44mm.

Yep 44mm… I guess if you have thin weedy wrists, then best to stick with a 36mm…

Anyone on here have a Speedmaster reduced?
Size wise appeals more to me at 39mm, and is automatic as opposed to the Professional being hand wound.

I bought the new 3861 speedmaster moonwatch just yesterday, have also owned the 1861 and tried on a reduced numerous times.
Unless you have really small wrists I think the pro is the one to go for, it has the heritage of the moonwatch and is the better watch. The reason why the pro is not automatic is because in space the rotor would not spin freely and wouldn't wind the watch due to zero gravity.
The new bracelet and clasp is beautiful to look at imo, well worth the £1k premium over the outgoing model.

bought it like 6-7 years ago.. Was like £750? at the time was quite a bit cheaper than a professional (and auto)

i would definitely be tempted to let it go. needs a service though. keeps time really well but one of the sub dials isn't correctly zero'd so when the chrono is reset it doesnt line up 100%. been meaning to get it sorted…. wonder where would be best to get it shipped to in the uk for a service?

Everyone I look at this I can’t help but smile…. So different to the usual stuff out there!
Way overpriced at retail but a bargain second hand.
These are pretty exclusive. You've got to inhale quite a bit of 2nd hand smoke betting on the ponies before PMU will offer you one.
