    Although I do quite like the model, I would only really consider the steel version and don´t find the condition of this example very good.

    I have actually had this one in my hands and there is some wear through to the gold on the case and a heavily worn crown. It is also missing a few of the lume dots between 8 and 11. As for the price........

    I have one of these, lovely it is.

    Bullhead movement of course.

    Maybe one of the many who bought the bullhead NOS case will be after it.....

    Yes I'm sure a few years ago when these had asking prices of around 11-1200 euros quite a number will have been " recycled " :eek:

    .....which is why I don't buy an expensive or important speedmaster (especially 4 digit references) without an extract.
