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:

Doh! I was just talking to my wife about this watch last night. Thanks to maddog for saving us.

Sorry, guys, I only have one to sell and Mad Dog beat you to it, but I’m glad that it’s staying within the OF community. Hope to see it displayed regularly with cups of Dunkin in Mad Dog’s photos.

Good to see you're selling it to a OF icon. The watch will be loved and taken care off. And somehow that's always a nice idea. Enjoy

Nice to see it's staying close! @Mad Dog, whenever you're back in the Detroit area, bring it along for show and tell 👍

Finally @Mad Dog can fulfill his dream of a speedy on each limb!

And SOLD! Thanks to Mad Dog and to OF for the space!

It was my pleasure. Glad to see that this beautiful example is staying in the OF community. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.

It'll end up at some "Hooters" tip jar.
I fly Delta all the time and occasionally on an MD-80 (McDonnell Douglas) and no one knows who Mad Dog is!
Make sure of payment, Greg, these flyboys are nuts.

I fly American and I got cash up front. But Mad Dog is a stand up guy. 😁 Besides, the guy loves the Boeing 757 and anybody who knows anything about that aircraft is cool. It's the Ferrari of commercial airliners.

Yea, I'll say.
He's #4.

Wow, tough crowd.

Us Vet's can take it with a laugh.

One on each limb, Colin…you know you have to.

You'll need a few extra links (or extra-long velcro straps) to get them around your ankles. Then we need a cockpit photo. 😁
