Hello everybody, I am looking for Speedmaster Professional from my birthday 1976. Do you any advice for an Dealer? Or any other advice. Thanks a lot in advance
Hello, you have a couple of links with very useful information here: https://www.fratellowatches.com/spe...ter-professional-145-022-buyers-guide-part-1/ http://speedmaster101.com/145-022/145-022-71-74-76-78/ I believe 145.022-74 will be the one for you. Don't let the "74" fool you. It's merely a reference number. A good place to source is this very forum. Good luck on your hunt!
You can do a query for the correct serial number range for your desired year/month on https://www.ilovemyspeedmaster.com/productiondateprediction/birthdate This helps you to find out if a speedy could match. You can also filter on chrono24 for your desired year. Good luck on your search. I really like the 145.022-76 reference.
"You can also filter on chrono24 for your desired year." This is not very accurate. Most older Speedmasters on chrono24 do NOT match the production year when searched for.
True, but you can run the serial number through https://www.ilovemyspeedmaster.com/productiondateprediction/ afterwards. Chrono24 can give you a first selection of possible watches. An extract of the archive is needed to be 100% sure about the production date.
Good to know about that search engine (https://www.ilovemyspeedmaster.com/productiondateprediction/birthdate) . Unfortunately, being born in 1968, getting a birthyear watch will be a little expensive.
Hello friend!! I also was born in 1976. Alas my 145.022-76 was 77 production. Use ilovemyspeedmaster.com to verify the date it’s spot on for that period. Bezel and dial are needed to be verified for this reference. DNN bezel and medium S dial.
