Is this a 145.022 ‘69 stepped dial?

·Photo 2 looks definitive, but photo 1 lacks definition (due to retouching? None of the crystal scratches are visible) and photo 3 is poorly out of focus. I think it's a stepped dial, but that chrono hand put me off it - not only is it incorrect but it's not resetting properly to 12. As I recall, I think the price was too high too on this listing.

·Does that not represent value, accepting it needs a replacement hand and service.
Ah must've confused it with all of the $9,000+ Speedmasters being listed out of Japan these days. That would've been an OK value probably, but it was a DNN bezel (non-220) and with that suspect hand, would've been a good pickup only if you really liked it enough to correct the problems. Usually a hand like that is just the tip of the iceberg.

·As mentioned there are a couple of red flags with this one although not difficult to fix. I would request some HD photos from the seller and if you don’t hear anything back then there’s good reason for that.

·Is it me or the bezel is not properly aligned with the dial?

·No doubt you’re right - who knows when else is wrong with the watch but in terms of the bezel I think the 220 DNN would have predated the straight writing case back Speedy. I’m not an expect and could be mistaken of course!
It definitely would. I did not actually look to closely at this listing, just sorta scanned it quickly and moved on!
