ok one of my direct reports at work has this Speedy. she does not know what it is. says it periodically works and so on.
the chrono hand looks way off. I have asked for more pics but here is one for now.
it does not have the "professional" on it. it has the DON i think.
is this a 105.003?

thoughts?

 

Hey there,

We will need more and better pictures. The watch appears to be a mix of parts (twisted lugs with a prepro dial).

The parts have value, but it would be interesting to see more, especially the movement number and inside caseback.

I know someone who would be interested in this...

 

Agreed - mixture of parts.
Substantial value in the dial and DON bezel.
The movement, hands etc also sought after.
I (and I suspect many others) would be interested in buying if for sale.

 

Agreed the lugs looked short to me but not in line with the speedy version I was thinking about. Pre pro dial seems ok but can't see the T on both side of Swiss made. Crappy pick it is indeed. She sent me two and that was the best one.

I asked for crown pic case back pic bracelet number and to not open the case w a wrench. Might get a picture if she can open it w sticky ball.
I might eventually do it for her if not.
The bezel alone is worth some dough so I told her not to take it anywhere not reputable.

 

Is there a lot of demand for this dial alone?

 

Certainly will keep you guys posted.
Think it is an heirloom so most likely will go nowhere but the twisted lug don't go with that dial or did they ever?
I am no Pro here but I suspect maybe it was worn a lot then case may have been abused and replaced?? All speculation on my part. I will however ask if papers are available and get more pics

 

Is it me, or is that a 2998 dial... but something looks off.

The twisted lugs would not have appeared on a non professional dial. The dial appears to be much older then the case.

 

Which is why I mentioned the case being abused then replaced.
? Is that doable ? No idea though so let 's get the idea keep on coming.

 

If that can be confirmed as a 2998 dial (calling it that due to Omega Font), and the bezel being real then those are worth alot as parts. The printing on both seems to be off, thick on the bezel and to thin or to think depending on the area on the dial against other examples.

My guess if it is all real, is that it got serviced at some point, and got a new case. The chrono hand looks relumed.

 

It looks like a very early, oval O, small marker dial. Very valuable.

The movement and dial from a straight lug speedy would certainty fit into a twisted lug case, shame though that would be... though if the case back is from the original watch, there may be hope to make it right again.

 

Thank you all for the valuable info.
I will try not to get too excited for her and provide decent explanations on what to do next. Stay tuned

 

A pic with the flash not on the minute recorder subdial would tell a lot..

 

Certainly looks like an oval O dial. Non T, small markers.

Looks like at least one of the hands is newer, which ties in.

A mish mash of parts unfortunately. Just very valuable ones!

 

Does that dial have a step? Could be a pre pro service dial

 

2998-2 dial?

 

Remember it's the caseback that, through the dust cover, keeps the movement in place = risky, risky

 

alright it took a while but the watch was in Seattle.
some more pics.
end link 47 which model was that for?

I shall see the watch in person in a couple of weeks. will take pic of the movement then

 

47 ends go with 1175, aka No12 bracelet.

case back looks to me it has never been touched. not sure if the pics provide more clues to the watch itself?

 

Not sure if the new pics help but does it provide more clues to the watch itself?

Any tips when opening the case on this one .
