Nothing to see here, the word "nice" isn't in the title. Not there at all. Completely absent ... now.
Hands not original... pushers are a question. Depends on price and if your willing to take a risk. with the right hands and some poly watch it could be great. Could be a nightmare though....
The original thread was named “Nice 1963 Speedmaster on Goodwill website” Then OP edited the title...
At least the shipping price is only $10.25 for a +$8,100 watch You’ll get the full $50 USPS insurance.
Looks like one of the bidders retracted and it sold for $7500. I thought about posting it here while it was still active, but decided against it. The case and the double bevel case back are both in really nice shape from what I could see, and the movement at least looks decent and not rattty. The dial, well definitely needs a relume, and the bezel is pretty much the worst/most ghosted I've seen. But is $7500 really that out of line even for one that needs some work? I can't remember seeing one of these on ebay sell for this little any time recently.
i wouldn't have thrown it out of bed for eating crackers. 1963 could've been my dad's HS graduation... think of the adventures that baby has seen. swapping out the replacement hands for a correct set would make that ok in my book. the ghost bezel is really cool, different, but cool. a vintage 1963 senior is a lot more grey today as well.
