    $125 for a watch in 1957 was pretty serious money. Something like $1250 in today’s money.

    Roughly the same price as a Rolex at the time.

    That’s a serious hi-grade movement. I grab one of these late 50’s / early 60’s Bulovas each time I come across what I feel is a good deal.

    Purchased this one fairly recently for literally a dollar or two over melt value and it’s beautiful. It’s never been serviced but it keeps perfect time at high amplitude. Like I wrote: top notch movements.

    Found a panda dial I really like.. still hoping for a Hammie or a Heuer someday.
    ..but this should do for now:

    Who knows, once in hand and on wrist, I might just end up totally satisfied!

    My birthyear Speedy https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-speedmaster-professional-145-022-76-st.88359/. Strapped on my own designed NATO strap. More on that later...
    It is a 145.0222-76 sold in my birthyear 1978. Took me 4 years to get this one. Its incredible almost the same serial number as the one of @Robert-Jan https://omegaforums.net/threads/the...5-022-76-that-took-me-15-years-to-find.89359/ . https://www.fratellowatches.com/omega-speedmaster-145022-76/

    Thanks to @donkii happy as a hippo, jippiajeeeee!
