Hi to all :O)

I am checking an old Speedy and don't have enough knowledge and pictures yet, meanwhile I would like to hear your comments from this poor picture. Hour hands looks odd at the end but I guess is just a bad picture. Bezel : Tachymetre don't have an accent.... is that ok . Any guess of the year that can be and if's a valuable Speedy or just another Speedy . The seller just got the watch , he is a trader but doesn't have deep knowledge on this particular model. Price not very cheap but if it's an old one then will be a good price.
I know that without opening the case is very hard to guess anything .
thanks for your inputs.

Sounds too much to me. Is that for everything or just the speedy ?

Way too much. If you know how to fish eBay you can get a good quality Speedy for as little as $3k.

That is why I was asking: For that price (Euro, Pounds or Dollars??) you don't have to think about buying it. (I only refer to pre 80s Speedmaster)

If it was a 145.022 with a confirmed original step dial you could have thought about it (only if 5K is in USD)

But in this case the bezel would be wrong and the price without service proof would still be very high

Looks like early seventies with a chrono problem. You won't find one of them for $3k on ebay.

Seiko 650 €, is a fair price? I have no idea about Seiko at all

Thank you to @dennisthemenace for making me reviewing it!

Hour counter didn't reset to zero while minute counter and sweeping second did 😉

The dial looks more like 1990s. Based on this single picture, I'm not convinced the bezel is legit.

Early '90s, bezel is legit (it's the later non-serif version of the DNN, appropriate for 1991-1995 or so and matches the dial)

2x too expensive I'd say, esp with what looks like chrono creep.

Search for a 3590.50 and find better examples
