Help finding a birth year 345.0808 speedy?

Hello all,

I'm brand new here so apologies for any faux pas I may commit.

My wife just surprised me at dinner the other night telling me that she wanted to buy me my dream watch as a wedding present. I've talked about wanting a birth year speedy with a display back case for years.

I'm looking for a 1985 which I'm pretty sure limits me to the 345.0808 with the copper movement. Patina on hour markers and hands are ideal, but I don't really care about box and papers.

I've checked all the sites and forums I know of but have had no luck. Any advice on how I could find my dream watch? (I literally had a dream about it last night..)

Thank you all in advance!

You missed one on here that was advertised in May. They aren't cheap and definitely aren't easy to find. Only 1000 made with the copper cal 863.

Here's mine on its 1447/805. All in 48.169.000 - 48.169.999 range, this one is in the first 100 serial numbers. So much to like about these from a collectors pov.


Good luck in the search. Keep hunting. Put up WTB ads everywhere you can and scan Ebay.

Wow yours is stunning!

I'm starting to realize how difficult it's going to be...stupid birth year..lol. I would guess price would be somewhere ~11k if I can find one?

Here is the link to one that was selling in August. Asking price was 11,800 USD.

Ok cool. This also lines up with what I’ve seen in a couple of auctions

Hey all, I'm no longer looking. Thank you for those of you that reached out.

You will find one keep checking watchrecon - I wish you well great choice and great wife
