02 Feb $185000 Vancouver Watch Collection FS

Something that’s been all over the watch world this week is this Omega Speedmaster Mission 23 Watch set which is going for $185,000 CDN. The seller is here in Vancouver and while a lot of watch nerds are saying it’s quite overpriced, I know a lot of serious collectors who love this series even though they’re all quite similar. Collectors and even museums have picked these up over the years as they don’t often come up for sale.

This set is one of 40 and was made in 1997 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Speedmaster and NASA moon missions. The ultra-cool suitcase that comes with the watches is made from the same material as the NASA astronaut suits, as well the hinges are shaped like alien heads. The watches in this collection have never been worn or used and really never should be.
