Vintage 1969 Speedmaster Mark 2 for 50th Birthday

Yep, the trapezium logoed bracelet is more indicative of early 70's. Serial number in the 25xxxxx's is also a big alarm bell. Looks like a put together watch. I don't know what you're expecting to fork out, but if you're patient , you should be able to get one in the 1400-2000 UKP range. Sites like Chrono24 are generally really expensive.

pictures aren't good enough to tell and you def. don't want to be buying a watch from a seller who isn't providing a movement shot...not at this price bracket......Patience....Here's my '69... bought 3 years ago for 1200 UKP + 200 to service. Not in top notch condition and sunburst finish appears to have naturally faded over time...no telltale signs of polishing as far as I can tell. Never did change the scratched crystal out, kept the stretched original bracelet and I put the corfam strap on something else.....all in all I reckon a bargain. But prices do keep rising for these..even though they are relatively common...
