·Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some help identifying and valuing a family watch. This Omega Speedmaster Professional has been in our family since I believe the early 1970s. From my own research, I believe it’s a 145.022-69, likely produced in the late 1960s or early 1970s, but I am far from an expert and likely missing some of the finer details you all know so well.
The family member who owns it is potentially looking to sell due to old age, so I'm trying to gather accurate information to help them make the right decision.
What I think I’ve identified so far:
• Dial: It appears to be a "Step Dial" with a painted logo.
• Bracelet: It’s on an 1171 bracelet with 633 end links.
• Bezel: I believe it to be a dot next to 90 rather than dot over 90.
Photos:
Please note that these are the only photos I currently have available. I know you usually prefer movement and internal case back shots, but I hope these exterior views are a good starting point for your expertise.
Our Questions:
1. Does my assessment of it being a -69 seem correct based on these photos?
2. We don't currently have the box and papers, though we are searching the house. Could you give us a rough idea of the current market value both with and without the original set?
3. We’re based in the U.K. is there any dealers in particular you would recommend us reaching out to who is an expert in these watches who might be interested in purchasing it?
4. Is there anything "special" or specific about this configuration that an enthusiast would look for?
I’ve tried to do my homework, but I know the "collective brain" here is on another level. Any insights or corrections to my research would be greatly appreciated by my family.
Thank you for your time I really do appreciate it.
I’ll attach the only photos I have at the minute below.
