great price! it's "about time" (pun intended) to check my spare bin....

 

I stuck one of these on eBay about 6 months ago and it went for £220, I was gob smacked, it is ridiculous

 

What would you do if you needed one? Pay these prices or use an incorrect/later one?

 

Let me think....$300 or $12 for something I never look at...hmmm....

 

There's this bizzare bubble that we are living in of wanting our tool watches to show the life they have led yet return their 'originality' , which can of defeats the object.

There is a NASA watch in the Smithsonian that is a flown 64 with a donor 861 and later pro dial, would you return it to standard or keep it as is??

Obsession over getting watches back to 'stock' sure is messing with them more, a dial I understand, hands and bezels I understand, even obsession over terribly made flat link bracelet but for me a dust cover takes OCD to a new level

 

I thought it might be an interesting question because it's often details like these that put hunters on alert. Why was it changed? What else was changed?

A new dust cover (or movement ring, or pushers, or crystals, or...) are usually not enough to dissuade me from a sale, but I would ask a few more questions if I was considering a buy...

Have you missed the yellow O-ring and original spring bar discussions?

 

Ha ha, I'm a much happier person now I no longer collect these priceless tool watches!

 

Actually the yellow O-rings were on the TGDW, not Speedmasters. The spring bars were a Speedy thing though, although I think some other had them too.
