·Make and model: Omega Speedmaster 69-SW ‘Straight Writing’
Diameter: 42mm
Age: 1969-1971
Shipping costs or pick-up in region: pick up possible in Belgium/The Netherlands, shipping happens bombproof through UPS with Secursus insurance
Movement type and caliber: Omega cal. 861
Asking price: EUR 5.750
Everything has been checked versus Moonwatch Only. The movement serial is perfectly within range for a 69-SW. Original patinated tritium, mint step dial, superb bezel, original crystal with logo, some typical black paint loss from the lettering on the caseback, beautiful well-worn case - not a safe queen but brushing on the sides still nicely present, untouched movement (just check the screws as well as the subdial hands, not fumbled with) - I purchased the watch as a ‘barn find’ and since then 1) polished the crystal, 2) removed the crumbled case back gasket and installed a new one, 3) ultrasonically cleaned the bracelet and fitted new thick spring bars, and 4) had the movement inspected by a watchmaker who confirmed exceptional condition and no immediate need for service. Take a look at the timegrapher photo as well. Comes with the original 1039/516 flat link in sublime condition, currently fits 17 to 18.5 cm and I removed two extra links so those are included as well (I believe the bracelet was full length!) - spring links are very tight and not ‘worn out’, it is an original pairing bracelet/watch so the 71 date stamp is also as it should be for a 69-SW.
Returns are of course allowed if I misrepresented the watch or the condition.
Some feedbacks on this forum (I have a couple other here on the forum and many many others worldwide, you can also find me on IG username life.between.lugs):
Some pictures, but also see the three youtube video's I posted at the end! They illustrate the condition of this Speedy really well.
Some vids as well, don't forget to click on quality 1080p for the best viewing experience 😉
