No not at all. It’s a rare variation. TLDR...
Omega changed from the 321 movement to the 861 in 1968. The 145.022-68 is the only variant that has the applied metal logo found on all 321 watches. In 1969 they changed to a printed Omega logo. As such it’s the most valuable of the regular production 861 watches.
If the watch was a 71 it would be worth about 1/2 of yours and it’s basically identical exact for the dial and bezel.
Your piece has a very very good dial and matching hands, as well as an exceptional bezel and case. The value of your watch is in its originality. I’d not trust most watch makers to touch it in fear of damaging the hands. Omega is not an option for repair for various reasons.
As noted the bracelet is also 1,500. At auction it’s possible that it could hit 15k if it remains untouched. I’d not wind it or play with it either as it appears to never been serviced and the oils have long dried up.
I highly suggest reading the website that has been linked multiple times.

First how do you know it’s a 145.022-68 ? Have you seen the inside? It might actually be earlier. But...
http://speedmaster101.com/145-022-transitional/
Value is north of 10,000usd.
Do not get it serviced except for a specialist in these. If your planning on selling it do not service and I’d suggest one of the big auction houses.
There is a chance it’s a 145.012 which increases it value by another 3k.[/QUOTE

Me too. I'll take that "ckunker" off your hands and you won't have to bear the cost of an expensive service 😁

Best 2 to get full value, big name watch auctions and this would be a featured piece I think, esp with the anniversary coming.

·If I were in your place, I would have shared the sale proceeds with that lady who ignorantly gave you the watch without knowing it’s real value! Just my honest loud thinking....
