...my first post also. Lurked this forum (and some of the other recommended resources) for months to educate myself before my first purchase. Finally pulled the trigger today on my new to me 145.022-76. From what you have taught me, I think I got a good buy on an all-original watch. Here it is - now you tell me. The 1171 bracelet with 633 end-links is included, but I removed it in prep for a nato strap.
Everything looks period correct (although I can't make out the serial). Nice bit of patina and pretty much un-polished. Congrats-looks good.
First post is a Speedmaster and no avatar picture. Hahaha! Okay @nation81, we'll give you a chance to set an avatar and redeem yourself.
