New member - read all the gouge - about to buy - did I do okay?

I think it's legit and fairly priced.

Regarding the dial lume, you could ask the seller in advance if it is tritium lume or not. Then check it with a UV to verify that the lume fades properly. It doesn't appear relumed to me from these pics.

The case has been polished but it's not poorly done. The edges are soft, but it's what you'd expect for this price. Not heavily nicked though.

The bezel appears real and in good condition.

The serial number is hard to read but I might be close. The movement appears correct for the reference.

Hand lume is a bit dark but look original. Paint is excellent. I can't see any repaint myself in these pics.

Wait to get more opinions but it looks good to me.

It's got little serifs on the one and three, which most fakes don't. This leads me to think it is real. I am not an expert on bezels but this is what I have learned thus far.

It's fun, isn't it? I assume you've seen speedmaster101.com?

You'll probably want a Moonwatch Only book. It's expensive, like 250, but it's so worth it.

I was in your place 4 years ago. There's so much great research already done for us. A lot of these OG's had to figure it out themselves bit by bit.

The Speedmaster is my favorite watch. I'm not unique, but doesn't matter. It's just such a great watch. I'm very excited for you. It's a lot of fun.

It was $159 on Amazon last I checked.
