1971 Speedmaster Professional In Beautiful Condition

Good day all. Up for sale is my 1971 Speedmaster Professional. I acquired this watch in March of 2021 from one of my watchmakers. To my knowledge, it is fully original with the exception of the Omega 1175/640 flat link bracelet which I added after purchase and which is correct for this reference (the watch came with an incorrect 1171-1 service bracelet when I bought it, so the 1175/640 is a significant upgrade). I will let the photos speak for themselves, but this is the nicest example of a 1971 Speedy that I have ever seen. The case is unpolished with just a few minor scratches. The bezel is perfect as are the tritium dial and handset. Although I do not have service records, I can represent that the watch was serviced immediately prior to my purchasing it and is still under warranty through March of 2023. I can supply the warranty card. It winds up smoothly, runs well within specifications, and all chronograph functions work as they should. I am selling it only because I recently acquired a 1969 Speedmaster Straight Writing and I really don’t need two Speedies in my collection. The price is $6,000 USD. I value the watch head at $5,200 per the Speedmaster 101 price chart for a “very good” example and the 1175/640 bracelet and end links at another $800. I am throwing in free shipping and insurance worldwide as well as one of the new style Omega lacquered wooden watch boxes with cream leather interior. All in all, it’s a very nice package. Payment via Wise, bank wire transfer or PayPal F&F. No returns unless I’ve grossly misrepresented the watch’s condition - which I haven’t. 😀 I’ve been a very active member of OF since 2018 and I think that I can round up a few members who will vouch for my character without me having to pay them. You can also check my feedback under username gbesq on eBay and I can provide references from C24 as well. Please don’t be offended if I decide to ask for references from you as well. I’m happy to answer any questions, just PM me. Thanks for looking and now for the pics:

I keep coming back to this one in hopes that it is sold, so I can put away my calculator and stop hoping that our Canadian dollar goes up.

Thanks for the free bump! 😀 I have received several inquiries, but still available as of this morning. Let's keep this one in the OF family, folks.

And a new pic. I’ll try to add some video later today.

Ok, here’s some video. Please forgive my clumsiness. A professional videographer I’m not. As good as it looks in pics and on video, it’s even better in person. By the way, It’s currently sized for a 7.5 inch wrist, but there are still enough holes on the clasp to expand the fit to 8 inches or so.

Friday bump. Video now available for viewing. Scroll down to the bottom of the thread. Have a good weekend all!

Back for sale after an eBay buyer didn’t follow through. Hoping to keep this one in the OF family.

Bump and a one time price reduction to $6,000 including the new style Omega blonde lacquered wood watch box and free shipping/insurance worldwide.

$6k for a very clean step dial is a nice price.

Bump and still available!

Another pic. The 1971 is on the right.

Thursday morning bump with a new photo. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, folks. About as clean as they come.

Folks, you aren’t going to find a really clean step-dial for under $6k. This is the one you have been holding out for. Plus buy the seller- Greg is about as safe a seller you can get.

This one's establishing a story ... I want to see where it goes for the next chapter of its life. Gorgeous.

How do we know this isn’t the caffeine talking I am having some doubts here.

It will personally be a huge relief for me if someone else buys this.

Updated to OHPF! Glad to see that it's staying in the OF family! 😀

Thank you Mad Dog for saving me from myself!

May I be the first to call Dibs?
