Hello everyone, I found this MARK III Speedmaster listed for sale at FM for around 450 usd. The seller says it’s not working and it’s missing a pusher. I’m out of my depth with this one, but I know the mark III is well regarded as a trusty watch. I know the service bill will be a hefty one, so my question is: Do you think it’s worth buying for said price taking condition into account, and if you think the case has been polished or redialed? Thank you very much for all your help, and as always much love to the OF family 🥰

Bracelet alone should be worth that amount.

Thank you very much for your answer!! Is the service for a 1040 very complex, or do you think a trusted independent watchmaker could sort it out?

A good independent watchmaker with an omega account should be able to sort this out no problem. Good luck and hopefully you bought before someone else spotted this bargain.

I’m assuming FM is Facebook Marketplace, and if so, just be cautious of this being a scam.

Yeah, it is, I’m Chilean though, so that’s about market price for a watch like this over here. Having said that, one is always careful!!
