Need advice on speedy

riimar · Feb 20, 2025

Good evening all,

This speedy is up for sale at an auction site
in my country. I'm interested, but I have some concerns and Speedmaster is not my field im afraid.

This is the info from the ad;
Apollo XI 25th
Ref. 145.0062
Cal 865
Year 1985
Serial 48303828

It's watch only and obviously on this aftermarket strap.
No movement picture or service history

Serial number 48mill matches 1985
This is a 1994 collection?

Cal 865 is not correct?

And there are several ref.nr for this model
How can 145.0062 be correct?

148.0062 / 348.0062 (solid white gold)
3891.50 (stainless steel)

Anything else I'm missing here?

Best regards

Is there photo of movement? Should be cal 861 from 1994, not 1985. SN lookup on Ilovemyspeedmaster.com shows date 1994. So sellers info is not correct need to see movement and inside caseback to sort this out before bidding
.
There are resources to look up price guide for more modern Speedmasters from Fratello have a look

The watch is not coming with the special box , special booklet, patch etc… and in aftermarket strap, also 2 heavy scratch on the side do not play more than 4K USd and this is really the max , a full kit fetch 7000 to 7500 USd

Thank you so much!
Currently at usd 3200 with 2 days left

They will not provide me with a movement picture, also there is no service history, so I might back off on this one.

This is what you need to get normally , with this release the paperwork and the box keep the value strong, with nothing , 3,2 + service is not bad at all but it is not a regular speedy .
