·Hi I am buying a Speedmaster vintage from the 80s in London and want to get it authenticated before I buy it. Does anyone have any recommendations in London for a good shop or watchmaker?

·This watch from 80s should have tritium lume marked with T and this is a superluminova service dial. The sellers know this stating it has been serviced and deliberately avoid saying it is original.
I would avoid buying from a deceptive seller.
Plenty of these out there and the tritium lume ages with nice patina that’s one of attractions of this era Speedy.
Edit: and please post photos they stay for future reference links do not. Screenshots are ok.

In addition to the advice above, the watch in the link appears to be a franken (better photos would be required to confirm).
Also, all of its components are newer than 1985.
The asking price is laughably high.
Hard pass.
