Good afternoon. I am new to the forum but have been a watch enthusiast for years. Can anyone tell me if the Spillman C.R.S Speedmaster cases are anything special and do they attract a premium price tag. Thank you

Are you buying or selling?
Looking to buy. I have my eye on a really nice '84 but want to know if the CRS case really makes any difference in the eyes of most collectors.

Compared to grains of sand it is special. Otherwise it’s the same as all the other 80’s cases.

TLDR: CRS made a lot of speedy pro cases.

Make sure the bezel is in good condition as current service bezels will not fit due the different inside diameter.

CRS are the commonly seen 80’s case manufacturer. No more special than any post 60’s case maker.

I’ve posted about this for years...case backs as well...

Omega will replace the entire case at a reduced price if these parts are needed during service.
