Cheers! It's not running (broken stem/incorrect crown combo)... so it needs some love, and a decent service (STS to the rescue). Also a refinish on the case, to take it back to factory.
Thanks Nick! Had been after one of these for a while and this one's in very nice nick (pun intended)! (Also to all my English friends...hope I used that right)
You've just offended everyone in the country... there's much sighing, tutting, and assorted muttering.
I'll slow down after this one, I promise. Speedmaster Date (3513.33) with white Guilloché dial - often referred to as a Japanese Market model... but I'm not so sure about that.
Got this last night, one minute into the posting : ref. 2852, cal. 505, and yes, it has @kyle L -patina!
Wait... ... How did the watch I bought last night patinate so quickly? ....AND... develop some funny 'humps' between the indices?....
Back from a great trip to Europe for me and the new fiancée and a few sweet purchases. First took a bit of the watch budget but happened to leave enough for a little black number for me. (Sellers pic as will take a bit to get here)
