is this a rare beast or franken?

 

thats a teutonic, German only speedmaster 5.

 

Ok thanks. I've never seen one before.

they have the same case as another speedmaster but without the 861. I can't find the reference.. the 861 was German market only.

 

376.0806 this is the other ref and the only Mark variant of this case. all info can be found on the website I linked.

 

it can be that I mixed up models and that the teutonic was available in all countries and the Mark 5 only in German speaking countries, havent had much time to look (I came back from holiday 5 min ago)

 

Thanks again for the info.
You've saved me hours of googling.
Hope you had a great holiday

 

looks like I was just in time

 

There is a far better one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/263113845279Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Ive owned a few of these, get a good one to start out with as the cases aren't the best made Speedy case ever, the finish is a nightmare to refinish (the factory and STS are the only people I have seen do this properly) and the bezels are an utter fortune. Also the BCT is obsolete now and links are very difficult to obtain, the BCT's wear well but don't 'age' well so if you got a well worn one they aren't something you can simply replace or replace the pins in and return it to new.

Hope this helps

 

Mk5 Teutonic. I used to love the look, but now too retro for my tastes. I imagine all the curves makes this hard to refinish

 

do these have a snap on back?

 

Yes snap back on these, they are great watches BUT as mentioned the sand blasted style case, mixed with the 'lower quality than normal' bracelet means getting a good one is essential.

As I said they last really well but examples like this one that look like they've had 30 plus years of daily wear makes then a big cost to get stock again

 

I never seen before
