Sold my 2014 GMT II BLNR for a 2021 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Sapphire

[fdm79]

Long time since my last post.
In the beginning I was a bit reluctant to let it go but owning 3 steel Rolex, (BLNR/BLRO/Sub LV) made me realize I was wearing my BLNR less and less in a point I asked myself why having 3 quite similar watches in my collection (Ok, the green Sub is not so similar) but still... I'm already very happy with the BLRO and Sub LV.

The thing is: as a Pilot and Anything Space Related lover, I always wanted the iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch but until the 2021 model, it never appealed enough to me. Very large bracelet, no hacking seconds possibility, etc. When Omega released the new 2021 model, I thought this is it.... Far nicer and more retro Bracelet, improved movement, applied logo for the sapphire version...

I even considered adding it to my collection without selling the BLNR but at some point, just increasing the number of watches and not using them in rotation would be a waste. I hope the new owner takes care and enjoy it as much as I did.
I was (still am VERY impressed how quick I sold it ! Of course we all know about the high demand for sports steel Rolex but regardless...)

So here I am, sharing my new acquisition: Brand new and fresh from the oven Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional (Sapphire version) 310.30.42.50.01.002
