CK 2915
The Broad Arrow, 1957
Three genuine examples this week — a $95,000 2915-1 and two 2915-2s near $53–54k. The dash number is doing $40k of work.
What sellers are asking for vintage Speedmasters right now — checked by hand, priced in the currency listed. This is the shop window. What buyers actually paid is a different page.
Asking isn’t selling. The numbers below are what sellers want. What collectors actually paid lives in the Market Reports — the gap between the two is where the education happens.
Site-reported listing counts beside our verified sample. Ranges are drawn only from listings we could confirm as the reference — lookalikes, parts, and modern reissues set aside.
The Broad Arrow, 1957
Three genuine examples this week — a $95,000 2915-1 and two 2915-2s near $53–54k. The dash number is doing $40k of work.
The first in space lineage
Eighteen verified across both sites, $13k to $143k — the -1 tropicals still set the ceiling.
The second reference
Fourteen verified; eBay’s 182 results collapse fast once parts and lookalikes fall away.
Ed White
Twenty-six verified — the week’s deepest genuine pool. The Ed White remains the liquid 321.
The fourth reference
Twenty-five verified, $7.4k–$24.6k — the honest middle of the calibre 321 market.
Pre-moon, calibre 321
Thirty-six verified; calibre 321 examples and Ultramans hold the top of the 861 range.
Transitional pre-moon
eBay’s -68 search returns the whole 145.022 family; only 4 of 25 sampled were true -68s.
Pre-moon, straight writing
The cleanest search of the day — 20 of 25 sampled were genuine -69s, movement-only parts set aside.
The last of the line
Twenty-three verified; the last of the line remains the value entry to stepped dials.
The most instructive number in vintage watches isn’t a price. It’s the distance between two prices.
Each reference pairs its median asking price against its median realized price — once verified realized sales are on the record.
Until then, this panel stays honest — and empty.
How many examples are publicly buyable right now. Site-reported totals, not deduplicated — the same watch can appear on both marketplaces.
One listing, discussed — for education, not promotion.
From this morning's Chrono24 check (October 24): a 145.022-69 ST listed as a 'RARE Missprint 220.' The lesson is on the bezel. A small run of early 145.022-69 tachymeter bezels left the factory with an error in the scale printing — collectors call it the '220 error' bezel — and it has become one of the small details that separates a studied example from a glance. Same reference, same calibre 861, same stepped dial: the interest is entirely in whether the bezel is the error printing, and whether it belongs to the watch. Worth studying as an example of how one printed numeral can carry a whole attribution conversation.
An example worth studying — not a recommendation, and not a comment on the seller. Do your own diligence.
