    This is the watch that started it all for me with Omega. My first speedmaster - again hard decisions have to be made and I'm selling this only because I'm consolidating into fewer pieces as our family plans a significant move across country.

    I bought this watch while traveling in Japan 4 years ago and it has been worn almost exclusively on a strap. There are some desk diving marks on the clasp and subtly on the bracelet but these are very hard to see. The crystal has subtle marks as would be expected for a watch of this age that has been worn. No deep marks and I've used harsh lighting to try and show all the imperfections. There are some fibers and smudge marks on the watch from my fingers. There are no scratches on the dial and the case is in excellent condition without any dings or marks that I could notice.

    The watch comes on its original bracelet sized to fit a wrist of 7.5-7.75 inches. It has one extra link which should take it to 8 inches. The watch was originally purchased at the Nagoya Airport Swatch Boutique and all the original warranty and Japanese boutique cards are included. The original operating instructions, hang tag (in JPY), service center brochures, and Apollo XI booklet are included. Both outer white and special edition black boxes are included with two internal pillows and overlay cloth. About as complete as it comes.

    Mechanically running well but again worn sparingly and would recommend a service if you were to wear it often. The last service was in 2013.

    I'm asking 3250 USD which includes insured 2-day shipping in the USA. This is the lowest price I've seen for a 30th anniversary edition (and a full kit at that), let me know if you have other thoughts. International shipping can be done at cost with overnight and parcel pro.

    Had a couple of really close offers this week, but not there yet.

    Also put the watch on the timegrapher and it's running +12 s/d with 260-270 amp (with the lift angle set to 50).
