Hi guys,

just purchased this one from ebay. Looks like it's the CB case maker stamp on here. Lumes have wide plots.

Wanted to know if you guys can spot any thing that i can't see.

The seller did mention that the bracelet is not authentic omega. As there is a CYMA printed on the inside of the buckle.

Thanks for your help!

 

Congrats!

Store those BCTs and get a proper vintage BCT or Horween strap for that bad boy!!

In hand yet? Wonder if the buttom at 6o'clock, is smudged? SWISS is missing a bit

 

Looks like it!

 

What is a BCT?

in transit!

 

thanks for the feedback

 

apologies...bracelet

 

I think you have a good honest example you can work with. I'd say everything is in good, honestly-worn, vintage shape, with all parts appearing to have a consistent level of wear with each other, indicating originality (*for most items) to the watch. Replacement parts follow: the top pusher appears as though it was replaced at some point. Compare the top pusher to the bottom one, which appears original to the watch. The original crown also was replaced. Both wrongs can be righted, by sourcing an original pusher and original crown. The correct original bracelet and endlinks for this watch are a 1039 with 516 endlinks. Best date code for the bracelet (stamped into the clasp) would be x/67 (e.g., 1/67, 2/67); but x/68 would also be acceptable, and really, any 1039 bracelet, x/67 thru /72 would give you a great, honest, correct vintage look for your Speedmaster.

You should look forward to enjoying your Speedmaster; and, you should also rest easy knowing that you've likely got a piece that you could confidently resell here, or elsewhere, if you had to. All in all, nicely done.

 

Thanks g-boac
