·After having been ticked off by @gemini4 for choosing poorly I picked up this one as my first Speedmaster and would like to hear your opinion:
Serial 30'591'xxx
The dial is NOT turning chocolate and there seems to be some chronocreep.
To my untrained eyes the edges look quite nice,
To my untrained eyes it looks as though it has
A C1 dial is a C1 (tritium turning black), Bezel B1 (quite nice too I think), Hands C2 (Tritium turning very black), Back A4
with the unfortunate marks of a brute trying to open it and failing, but the engraving still quite fresh,
crown A2 and pushers 5.00 x 3.5 mm (the upper one has a slight ding)
A hesalite with I don't know which of the different logos
and the remnants of a 1039/516 bracelet for which I'll have to find parts or replacement. I don't know what its going to be yet
The movement and dust cover (pics by the seller as I haven't the tools to open the case.
So, gentlemen. Did I choose better this time? Is there anything I missed?
Can I leave the house wearing this watch without making a fool of myself? (And I'm only talking about the watch, not about the bracelet the seller added 😉 )
Thank you for your feedback.
