    Doesn't look like there's much interest... does anyone know if there are any reasons why that's the case?

    I mean, it's a fairly uninteresting looking package. I'm not so sure it's actually a 145.022? Maybe the next iteration, a 3570.50? I have very little knowledge about this era, but nothing about that has any vintage parts/attraction, save for the lume patina. If you're in the market for a Speedy like this reach out to Kringkly, he has a constant supply of good stuff.

    80s/90s tritium dialed watch, lume dropping out of the hands, bracelet missing (marks on lugs where one was fitted for a long time), boxes it's supplied with have nothing to do with the watch...

    Just because it's a Speedmaster doesn't mean there's always interest.... I'd imagine this will still hit £1750-£2000

    It's a mid-90s 3590.50, or at least was serviced in that period with the corresponding dial and bezel. Given its condition (not bad, not great) I'd say it's fairly close to fully-valued as I type this; I expect it to end close to US$2300 or so once it closes.

    Another issue is that shipping is restricted to UK only, thus cutting out a large potential customer base.

    Thanks for feedback. Who is Kringkly? I'm potentially in the market for a speedy pro to complement my 28,xxx,xxx mk2...

    Just looked at the listing properly - collection only from Hove (next to Brighton in the U.K.)... that's seriously restricting the buying pool.

    I took this thread to be the seller trying to drum up bidders for his auction. Maybe not?

    £2105 - I'd call that a little strong.

    Honestly I have nothing to do with it / not drumming up interest. I'm just looking for a speedy and wanted opinions on the piece. Anyway £2105 was way out of my budget (it was at £1500 when I started the thread.)

    But I see it's now been relisted, presumably the sale fell through.

    Here's a coaxial at £2100... what's the catch, other than the lack of bracelet?

    Realivly new watch, no bracelet (or correct strap), no box, no cards... not the most desirable model.
