Couldn’t move the caseback with my usual tool (no I didn’t scratch it), so I made myself a better one……..



…… and off it came, revealing a very nice clean movement. Looking at the screws, I doubt a screwdriver have ever turned them counterclockwise?




220 bezel:

Now to find a good watchmaker for what I believe will be its first service.

 

Sweet, first time I have seen a DOS (Dot Over Seventy) bezel

 

Nice! That's a crispy-looking Speedy!

 

That looks very nice. Was it bought in the USA or Europe ?

 

dibs! nice 220 bezel

 

EU

 

Ha, so it was you, Paul, that snagged it!

Nice to see that that piece stayed in Denmark, so big congrats!

 

And I confirm that the s/n in the range of the small series with "220" bezel. Great catch!

 

Hi Paul!
Great catch! We need to meet in DK some day for a beer and watch talk. Your collection of fine Omegas is turning very impressive indeed!

 

Nice

220

Clean

Very good example of a reference, with a correct quirk.

I like this watch

 

Thanks Martin.

I take it you were the annoying person who pushed up the price, grrrrr

 

Would be great - beers on me

 

Gets better and better - thanks

 

Congrats!
Lots of neat nuances with these 68-69's
worth collecting for.

 

So tell us how you made the opener?

 

With access to a CAD/CAM system and a CNC machine, it's pretty simple.

 

Oh yeah.....easy

 

A great looking watch

That would make an interesting group buy?

 

This is a really really nice 68-69 speedy .

 

So does the quirk, just fall into these 68-69's? And is it just the 220 quirk? Thank you
