    Hello guys,

    I have recently purchased a Tudor BB 58 and I am looking to buy a Speedy to go along with it, thus I have decided to sell this Seamaster to fund it.

    The watch is in really nice condition regarding its age and is really good looking in various lightning conditions thanks to the nicely preserved sparkles dial. I have done my best to enlighten all the imperfections of the watches in the pictures below.

    Case: Good condition, usual scratches for a watch this old. No ding or deeper defect. It appears to be in original unpolished state to me, with a crisp edge between the flat part around crystal and the rest of the case. Note that the lugs are originally "rounded" on this model, this is not the result of an abusive polishing.

    Dial: The true beauty of this watch, original sparkles silver dial. The condition is excellent, please note a very light darker spot around 3pm, close to the hands axle, and a slight defect on the very edge of the dial between 4 and 5 (almost under the tension ring). They are almost invisible in real life, but as I am pretty pernickety I tried to show them in the pictures (especially visible on the last picture).
    I tried to include pictures with different lightning to grasp the texture of the dial. The dark scratches showing on some pictures are caused by the shadow of light scratches on the crystal.

    Crystal: Original Omega hesalite (Omega logo at the center). Some scratches that can be easily buffed out with some polywatch.

    Movement: Caliber 565, serial starting with 30320, dating it to 1969 or 1970 depending on the charts. The watch is running nicely (I've worn it regularly, especially before acquiring the BB58, without any problem). The power reserve is fine, it is running about 20/25sec late per day, the date is changing perfectly, and quickset date by pulling the crown is working perfectly also. However, I don't know of any service history, consequently I would recommend a service for any daily use.

    Bracelet: Omega beads of rice ref.1037 (no 12) in excellent condition with minimal stretch.

    Shipping, payement & returns: Best shipping and payments methods are to be discussed with the buyer. No returns accepted. Face to face transaction very welcome in Paris or Dijon, France (from end of may), or Exeter, England (until end of may).

    Price: I ask 800€ net to me.

    I am open to trades (with cash from my or your side if necessary), especially on a 90's tritium speedmaster pro, a day/date sparkles dial Seamaster on bracelet (166.028/166.032) or more generally vintage Seamaster and Constellation.

    Please note that this is my first sale on this forum, consequently I don't have any feedbacks here. However, I have sold quite a few watches on the french forum "Coin des Affaires".
    I did my best to make the most comprehensive listing possible, if I have missed something please don't hesitate to PM, or if you have any questions regarding the watch or request specific pictures.
