Hello gents

I am planning to purchase a 145.022/0022 made in 1985. While I was doing my research, the serial number appeared to lead to different direction, some source said it is 46xxxxxxx (chronomaddox.com by Roman Hartmann/ fratello / luneroyster.com) some said it is 48xxxxxxx (davidoff/ early post on chronomaddox.com). I found most of 145.022/0022 selling on C24 stated almost all the 1985 Speedy are 48xxxxxxx. Please confirm which serial number is corret?

Thank you very much.

Keith

Since they stoped to write the year in the caseback it’s a complete mess to find a birth watch.

 

is not necessarily the production year.

This year mark is more of a model designation than an accurate production date.
