My Grandfather left me these many years ago, and they were given to me on my 21st birthday. The smaller speed master came in a box with a guarantee dated 1979, the other came without anything. Below are the pictures, if you could help identify them and give a rough estimate on their worth that would extremely helpful!

The first:


The Second:

 

I think the box belongs with watch #2.

 

You're right! I searched the reference number and found that it was a Mark 4.5 176.0012, still no idea what the other one is though

 

It's a 3510.50 Speedmaster Reduced I think.

 

Looks similar but I'm not entirely sure because tthe ones I'm comparing it to on Ebay don't have the yellow lines on the face that this one has

What yellow lines? you mean the lume hour markers?

 

Yes, That would be them. Sorry, I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to these!

 

I believe you are correct.

 

IMO, the yellow on the hour markers is aging of the original white lume.

 

The Mk 4.5 looks to be in very nice condition with original crystal,dial and hands. You can still see the brushed finish on the case and has an original bracelet too which is good. The engraving on the case back might affect the value a little. Prices are all over the place for these and there are always a few of them for sale at any one time. You need the movement serial number to date it but it's probably a couple of years before the date on the case back. Do you know its service history? Value if it is running properly with a service is anywhere from 1500 - 1900 from what I've seen on the bay over the last few months. Nice heirloom, here is mine.

 

Thank you! I have no idea what its service history is, but I think I'll take them both somewhere to get them checked and/or certified original.

 

Make sure you find the right guy to service those. Ask on the forum if anyone knows of a reliable watchmaker in your area and DO NOT polish them or replace anything that is not absolutely necessary

 

If you plan to sell the mark 4.5, please contact me.....a.k.a Dibs !!!

 

Mkelley has answered it, it just an aging sign of otherwise white luminous material for hour markers. It is indeed a reduced Speedmaster. A nice and more convinience version Speedmaster Pro moonwatch.
This is short article in Fratellowatches discussing the item: http://www.fratellowatches.com/spee...ed-versus-speedmaster-professional-moonwatch/

 

Actually I had my eye on this one, I'm thinking of doing a Mike and getting a herd of them

 

Better than doing a Mike which usually has at least 2 of everything, you can do a Spacefruit.......with at least a dozen for each model . See his Speedy pro vintage.

 

My wife would divorce me if I did a Spacefruit

 

....mine too.
