HI there, fairly new to the world of vintage omega so any help is appreciated.

I instantly fell in love with this watch but want to make sure im not overpaying.

To my knowledge it is fully original, unpolished, however not serviced. It is watch only and from around 1978. Ref 145.022

Anyone have a rough idea what price I should be paying or how much you would pay for such a watch?

I'd read this first and learn how to shop for a Speedmaster.
https://speedmaster101.com/

Then when you know what to look for, you can evaluate whatever Speedmaster you find and judge a proper price on it.

Learning about them was the most fun part of getting first Speedmaster, an original ref. 145.022-69 ST with excellent DON, DNS, accented bezel, and superb ref. 1039/516 bracelet.

Great 145.022-78 in good plus plus condition. With bracelet Very good condition is where I would value it.

Looks like a modern 1171 bracelet to me. Need pictures of the inner bracelet and end links to see if it is period correct but it looks like the one you can buy today from Omega.

Looks like a nice example at first glance, welcome to the forum. You can probably find some good comparable sales by looking at eBay or the forum listings. The price list at the site mentioned above is also a great resource, but IMO you need some experience to use it in a knowledgable way.

It seems like OP added more photos. That looks like 808 endlinks with a 1450 bracelet. I expect that should add a small premium to the price of the watch.
