Hey everyone, I am wondering what the general thoughts of this speedy is? For one, the pics are awful but just decent enough to make out some detail. I can't tell if the dial is stepped and has long lime (and in my learning don't know if this model should even have it)? The hands look to have a cream tone to them but the crystal and bad photo is masking it. There isn't a whole lot of listing information outside of number of jewels, frequency, power reserve so that leaves the images to do all of the talkings. The price is $4,104 and the watch is located in Switzerland. Here are all of the pics (and this is the only dial photo). Thank you for your time.

Thank you! For that price it seems to all check out visually? From being a member here I know enough to factor in a service and how (where) to service it to preserve it.

I personally would stay away at that price. It appears to be a put together watch. As mentioned its a step dial but the case back and bracelet are post 1980 or so. The movement has a R. Serial number, which if in recall means a replacement movement but I don't remember the exact specifics of this. Basically though it's value is in the parts and never will be as a whole piece since there are a bunch of questions about it.

Agree with every word. It's also worth mentioning that the model no. inside the caseback should be 145022-69 ST or -71 ST, which are the correct references for painted Omega logo step dials.
