Does this speedmaster look genuine, any thoughts on whether it is worth a bid?

Speedmaster reduced, clearly old and likely due for service already, its a bit of a hard sell tbh

Thanks,I have asked for pictures of case back, looks like rotor could be rubbing, stands at £560 at present, what would you factor in for service?

About the same again, or more here in Australia

True but a Cal 5xx costs me $250-300 here to service, one of those I have to go through the AD and pay $860. The problem is after its serviced its worth about $1000 here.

So you've effectively paid for a Moonwatch but only ended up with the Moonwatch's Cousin Errol.

Honestly you dont see many of these in a "pride of ownership" type post.

Its a bit like thinking you want an Aston Martin and coming home with a TR3
