Not to take advantage of this forum, but y'all are so helpful. I'm looking at another watch which I was told is all original, waiting on some more pictures. Thoughts?
Need more pics inside and outside. Bracelet is not original btw Edit:Bracelet could be a 1116 which is correct
As mentioned in your other post, it is really critical to post photos of the back, the inside of the case-back, and the movement including the serial number. Otherwise you will get only partial information and it can be a big waste of time for everyone.
Nice looking watch. Straight writing case back are becoming more sort after and personally I really like the fade on the bezel. All down to price???
I can't see the movement number very clearly, but the watch looks great as far as I'm concerned, especially the bezel. Dial looks like there could be a little bit of lume loss on the 7 & 8 markers, but I could be wrong. Also, some people could argue that the subdial hands look darker than the hour, minute & chrono hand, thus the latter could have been redone. For the right price, I would definetely be a buyer (if the serial n° checks out of course)
Great thank you, price seems reasonable to me, I will double check the serial. Again, very appreciative of the help. I also quite like the faded bezel.
I'm going in, will try to post some more pics when I receive it. Seems like the 145.022-69 Sw is a relative value compared to some other models of that era.
The bracelet appears to be a 1479/812 combo from early 90's. Not a huge deal as the cost differential between this one and a correct one is probably a few hundred dollars, but thought it should be mentioned since it wasn't brought up again after the new pics. Congrats, assuming you nabbed it.
Thank you that's helpful to know, will keep that in mind and maybe do a swap in future. This will be my first speedmaster purchase, been eyeing vintage ones for a while but the market seems to have skyed recently.
Bonus dial pic that I received. May I ask what the proper bracelet would be, an 1116 or 1039? And do you find it's worthwhile to purchase and keep the omega archive paper? Thanks
Most uncommon on a sw would be 1116/575 as it was phased out in early 70,s-but others might be more knowledgable on that
