Dear guys,
I spotted this one from local seller, since I am a complete newbie to vintage speedmaster, I would like your assessments on this piece. Personally, I crosschecked with speedmaster101 and think it could be a 105.003 straight lug -
Stepped dial looks original no professional tex to my eye with nice patina??? hands replacements perhaps? No movement shot as I am asking the seller to send me later.
What do you guys think? How much is it worth or is it even real at all?

Tks lot

To my untrained eye, that appears to be an awesome Ed White.

I bet he´s asking A LOT of money for it, or else he´s not living on this planet

I'm curious as to the asking price? It looks good to me, but then again I'm no Speedmaster guru. If the price is right I'd be tempted to swoop now before somebody else spots and snags it.

At that price I would be thinking.....

ScammalammaDingDong!

Unless held in hand.

Or you missed off a zero.

Well even if there is no movement is inside at all, if you get what I see in the photos you have scored.

Seller asked for 1150usd but aguy came and so I got it for a higher price 1300usd first come first serve. Even with a scrap or any movement at all it is still a stealth

If you get that watch for 1300US, even if there's no movement inside, you'll be well ahead.

If there is a correct 321 movement inside, buy a lottery ticket!
