Take into account that a speedmaster was L. 80000

Here is mine I am wearing today , it used to be blue With silver hands but my wife forget it in her rear pocket, and it was sent in the washing machine with broken stem and glass. It wasn’t working anymore and the dial was toomuch damages.
I serviced the watch , changed the rusty escape wheel and finaly found a second hand dial and gold hands .
I like it even more now especialy on this dirty gold nato.

You’re probably looking for a replacement second hand? Not that I have one, I’m afraid.

Looks good. My wife owns a Rolex, Cartier and a Tag. None have been through the washer, but they look like they have....

We’ve seen this kind here before, but since it’s relatively new in my collection, adding another picture of this funky thing:

You have my attention. Somehow I have overlooked Geneves and I know that has now changed. Thanks for this great thread.

PS. The guy on the Triumph in the catalogue looks like he borrowed his jacket from Ringo Starr.

A special one today! Exotic racing dial, probably the rarest dial execution around.
