    I was the lucky one that snatched up @knappo1307's Mitsukoshi's Speedmaster conversion and just received it today.
    Jason is a fantastic seller. Great communication throughout the whole deal, super friendly, and the watch arrived extremely well packed and exactly as described.

    USPS delayed the shipment to 2-day delivery even though he paid for overnight and he made sure to double check with them and made sure I was very comfortable about the change.

    I would not hesitate to recommend him or purchase another watch from him again.
    Thanks for a super smooth transaction Jason!

    Sure! It's originally a 145.022 black dial.
    Here are photos from Jason's ad which I purchased for $2750: https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...koshi-dial-conversion-2750.42185/#post-497002

    I since installed one of Thomas Preik's custom display backs: http://www.customwatchconcepts.com/product_info.php?products_id=21&XTCsid=jqtckhgpc8l2em087ck63gpdq4
    My AD also buffed the hesalite back to new yesterday and it looks phenomenal!

    Congrats on picking that up! Do you have new pictures to share? Would love to see more shots of it since you got it...

    I was also strongly considering grabbing it and ultimately decided not to. I contacted Jason and he was great to answering all of my inquiries.

    I also ordered one of Thomas Preik's clear casebacks (from http://www.customwatchconcepts.com) and had my AD install it which you can see above.
    The cool thing is my AD also cleaned up the Hesalite and removed all the scratches that were there.
    The case itself and bezel remain as they were and it keeps excellent time!

    Unfortunately I may be having to sell it as some unexpected expenses have cropped up... I am doing everything I can not to have to however. These are so hard to come by and I love it so much!
