·The back has the correct bevels, only polished a good bit. The real problem is the dial is very unattractive. That one would be much better served by having it scraped and re lumed by one of the excellent artisans at work these days. In my opinion.

·What do you think about this one sub 10ke.
Does it worth it ?
Considering a relume is it a bad choice? Does it will affect the value?
Let me try to evaluate the parts :
The chrono hand is a replacement.
The DON bezel is original very nice
The dial is original but the lume is gone
The cristal is a replacement
The caseback is polished
The pusher and the crown are a replacement
If we use the 101 table it’s a running model.
What do you think?
Something bothers me : the pushers are obviously badly fitted, the caseback has gouging marks and is poslished, the dial is tired but ... the bezel is pristine. I smell a rat.

I can't see a double bevel, so the case back looks replaced to me.
The watch is 'running' at best but warrants further investigation if you're considering buying as the bezel is 'good', so I'd want to see the movement serial etc.

·Does this one come close - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Spee...942041?hash=item1a79393559:g:A1oAAOSw9ZtcZhGV ?
With my untrained eyes: replacement crown / pushers / chrono hand and period incorrect bracelet but all else seem ok ...

·I let this one pass yesterday.
It sold for 6600 Euro excluding 25% for the auctioneers.
I'm trying to learn the finesses of the Speedmaster but I think the bezel of this one is very beaten up, I don't like the pushers, I'm not sure about the hands and could the radium have been washed away?

Bezel is still OK IMO
hands are replaced ,
what I really like is the case, the lugs look excellent!
You are right with the dial

No TTdial. Small pushers? Is that a 105.002-62? Perhaps

Two different pushers?

The description was very minimalistic, there was no pic of the movement or inside caseback and since it was an online auction at a faraway place I decided to take it easy.

·More likely a 2998 than a 105.002 I think. Alpha hands replaced with service items.

Looks Oval to me. Just not the wide oval of the 2915s but not a more circle like O like the 2998-1,2 and Ed White dials.
2915
2998-1,2
2998 3-62, 105.002-62
105.003

·The low swiss made is the indicator its 2998, according to that book. Also seen on some 105.002, but considering that is such a low volume reference it will be a 2998 on balance of probability
