·You can look for a pusher (or pusher cap) in the usual places, such as eBay, using the 145.022 reference number.

·As per our DM, the bracelet and Endlinks have significant value in addition to the value of the watch head.

·oh great, so for insurance purposes if I was to say £5k all in for the watch and bracelet it wouldn't be far off?

·Depends massively on the dial but yeah why not. I don’t think you’d actually get that in a sale as the chances of someone wanting a -68 who also has the correct dial and also needs the dial your watch has are slim. Likely it would be a project for someone and they’re going to have to sell one dial separately and then source another which is a pain in the arse, so perhaps more like £4k.

·ah ok, wouldn't sell it anyway but it's nice to know, I though it might be worth a lot more before coming on the forum but in a way its ok its not otherwise i'd be worried about wearing it.
my only fools and horses lesser watch moment will have to wait.
thanks again David

·One more clue. If your father thinks that the bracelet is also original to the watch, then the case is also probably original, because that bracelet is compatible with that case. The "straight lug" case associated with the dial has 1mm less space between the lugs.

·And BTW, if you had put the word "Speedmaster" in the title, some of the real experts might have chimed in. 😁

·FWIW, I think the pre-pro dial looks better than the pro dial. And this is the way your dad wore it for decades.
I’d keep it as is and not attempt to “make it right.”

·Agreed Donn, I will keep it as it is, just need to find a pusher and get it serviced, does anyone know a good reasonably priced service place in London or is it best to send it back to omega with express instructions to keep everything as original as possible and return any replaced parts?
