Hi all,

My dad passed away and he had a speedmaster. I would like to sell it but, i do not know the age. I do not have the invoice, but i do have the box. Googling i found out this kind of box is from 1976, but i am not sure.

Here is a link to the watch on Chrono24:

Thanks for helping.

Do you have the serial number of the movement ? I think it might be written on one of the papers.

I would like to sell it...

In my opinion, your asking price on Chrono24 is 2x the value of the watch.

Double check that no serial number was written in the booklets you have. Short of that you’ll need somebody to open the case back and copy the serial number off the movement.

Once you have that go to Ilovemyspeedmaster.com and enter the serial number for a fairly accurate date estimate. Also for what it’s worth your listing says the watch is 34mm which is incorrect. It’s closer to 42mm.

It’s either a 145.022-74 or 145.022-76(pre Sept77 build date)

Your price is high. Unless there is a step dial I am not seeing in the pictures near the hour markers.

period correct 1171/633 bracelet needs serious work and doesn’t affect price much. I’d put it around good condition using the speedmaster101.com price chart based on those pictures.

Then it’s a 145.022-69 with later production or a 145.022-71.
