In that case jumping straight in with a vintage one is brave. In your situation I would probably get a modern model like a 3570 or FOIS just to make sure I actually liked the design.
Edit: just saw the one above, 145.022-69 presumably, that does look good...
Your in the UK right? Therefore any watch you buy can be sent to STS for service.
Take your time, if you're looking at c.£10k, you can definitely buy a decent 321 Speedmaster with some patience.

Open to all sorts..... 105.012..... Ideally under 10k
Now there's a lovely dream mate!😁
Aaaaah Jonathan ... how are you going to continue to visually treat us when you eventually sell that beauty?!
Ahh lovely words.😟
I'm determined that, if possible, it will pass to somebody on the Forum Eugene.😀
They might be stingy codgers and we may never see it again! Hopefully the young replacement will be worthy of being flashed 😀
Best advice is always to watch the private sale section of this forum. This is where you’ll find the best Speedies at reasonable prices.
Now there's a lovely dream mate! I'm sure you'll find a lovely piece.👍 You're only looking for one. When you find it, it would be nice if you could bring it to Time4apint in London so we can all enjoy it
I'm just browsing on my phone so I don't want to comment on the details of this watch. Suffice to say that if it is correct it will go above your £11,000 budget.
How’s that? It is on BIN, if you want it, buy it. I personally am not so keen. Heavily polished, modern Tekemetre bezel, nice but about worth about £2.5k less than a good DON. Decent watch for the price dial looks ok, hands suspiciously even faded tone.

Notice the difference between my quoted text and my post? I changed my mind as I was typing and warned to it a little despite the polish.
The bezel may we’ll be a 60s one but the reality is they are worth less than a DON. A lot less. My ? Indicated that I wasn’t sure but the price difference figure is probably right either way.
Not that I am aware no. Happy to be corrected though.
Mostly I just thought that because there was recent sale for decimal bezel for 2500 that was in worse shape than lot of DONs sold for that kind of money, I am pretty new to this whole bezel business, so I guess I just took that one special bezel sample size and applied it to all.
