You're supposed to post here before you buy, I know, but, I didn't...

I just sent funds for this 1970 MKII w/an early serial and 1159 bracelet.

I was on the hunt for something that would be a good daily wearer (it's serviced) and wouldn't feel too precious about should I scratch it. This will be the first Speedmaster I will have owned. After spending some time over the last couple months doing (trying to anyway) my due diligence I finally decided to pull the trigger.

I paid $1.8K all in, which I felt really good about. So, how did I do?

Looks great, the case is quite sharp which is rare for those cases. For $1800 it is a fantastic buy.

I think you did ok, it's not a King's ransom price.

Nice one! The case looks in great condition and unpolished, whike the crown is not the correct one, but this is a minor issue.

Thanks to all who chimed in. It's on my wrist now and what a chunk. Lovely though.

I was sorely tempted by that one. I think it’s a very good score.

I figured someone else here was considering it. It was listed back in early October. I couldn’t believe it hung around as long as it did…I kept holding off hoping someone would just buy it and I could move one, but finally just went for it.
