·Hi d4uk and welcome to the OF!
Speedy Mark II's are not found in abundance, but they are out there. I came upon mine from a fellow WIS from our watch group who picked it up from a contact in the US (we are in Canada). Mine is in good condition, and is an honest vintage piece, which is how I like them (If I can't wear a watch without fear, then I shouldn't be buying it!). I personally love the barrel case and the racing dial with the white and orange hands!
Gratuitous wrist shot...
and one in natural sunlight taken this summer...
I also have a more recent Moonwatch Racing dial (Tintin), which makes for a nice pair...(sorry for the fingerprints on the cases)
I picked up the Mk II for about $2K Cdn, box and papers included (originally purchased in 1974 from an AD in Port au Prince, Haiti of all places!).
I caution you, once I had both of these in the stable, I feel a strange satisfaction, and haven't been lusting after Omega pieces...I know, this too will pass (I hope!!)
Good luck with the hunt!!

·interested in this original racing dial piece on chorine24 but the markings on the inside of the case back are not ones i've seen on others i've looked at.. anything to be concerned about.. also i realise it's a strong price!

·d4Uk, I am not a big poster here, more a reader...but I do have a vintage MKII racing all original, unpolished case and in the condition as CDN's above. I would consider selling if you are still looking. I have lots of references, etc.
