    If he bought it 1969-70 then it won’t be a so called grail. Those came over a decade later. It could be an early Mk series maybe but those weren’t in Pro cases. Or a flightmaster maybe but the date sounds early for those too. There wasn’t AFAIK an auto movement in the 022 Pro case until the 1980s.

    69 was the year the very first first 3 automatic chrono movements came to market and none of them was an Omega.
    As can be read on the above mentioned site, "[...] Up to 1987 all Moonwatch cased Speedmaster watches were manual wind [...]".
    So either it was a manual wind or many years later.

    i have no idea if it was new when he brought it and his memory isnt too good he sayd he brought it in the naffy when he was stationed in germany and the dates could be a few years either way so between 68-72 probably but i remember it being auto
    gotta be honest thought id ask and loads would give me an answer

    Mk2 isn't auto. Other Mk series Speedmasters were but not the Mk2 and nothing before about 1972. Look at the link I posted above for more info.

    I rather have the impression, the OP allows a little joke with you guys ...

    Something is somehow deliberately weird here.
