Thank you for the reply .
So , the movement should be copper plated...
Please understand that for my untrained eyes , that article is a bit confusing

The description seems ok - but you can buy a new one for £2,800 from a grey dealer http://www.swisswatchesdirect.co.uk...ns_watches_speedmaster_moonwatch_professional

Mr @Hattrick. I'm of the opinion that you are not ready to own an Omega Speedmaster not just yet. You initially posted photos & wanted an assessment on the Moonwatch Ref 145.0022 probably from 1985 & @Maganator has taken the trouble.to provide you with some helpful links. Now you've changed your mind & fancy a Speedy Moonphase in a blink of an eye ??

I was aware of that site ,
Because my budget is limited , before posting here , i have looked at everything that i could find , including ebay , amazon, grey dealers.
And yes, i admit , i like both United and Liverpool , Tottenham and Arsenal , moonwatch and moonphase.
Please do not feel offended

You cannot like Man UTD and Liverpool !!
It's not right, it's incorrect, it's not on, it's just damn wrong!

Hope not to bump into you on a football forum because you will feel Meganfox was being very polite in comparison!!
