Omega Speedmaster First Generation Moon Watch Ref. 145.022-69ST Post Moon with the first generation back case. "The first watch worn on the moon" all in one row


Here you can find a extremely rare Omega Speedmaster not only because of the condition but for the fact that these do no simply exist outside private collections anymore. For any collector this is a rare find.

The bracelet is 1175/640 also extremely rare and the correct one.

The watch was part of a private collection and was never worn. It was serviced every couple of years and all the seals inside were changed by a Omega Authorized Service.

The movement is cal. 861 and is in a new condition.

The watch also has the original anti-magnetic movement dust-cover .

Original hesalite crystal has the omega logo on the inside and has absolutely not a single scratch. Not even micro scratches.

Ref. Number is 145.022-69ST and movement serial is 316110xxx.

For any questions please contact me. First decent offer gets the watch.

Agree with you, the condition is superb. It is just the price is in the straight lug 321 territory....... or a modern Speedyorite.

It麓s a confusing sales ad. An high ball asking combined with the statement "First decent offer gets the watch". How is that to be interpreted?

Even if full-set, it would still have been an high asking.

Keep a consistent selling strategy. Either you ask an high price, and if you麓re lucky someone wants it so bad that he bites, but more likely it won麓t sell, and don麓t be disappointed in that case. Or either you ask a realistic current marketprice, and your item will likely sell.

Sorry, I usually don麓t comment in sales ads, and maybe I will be spanked now....

I dont mind comments and advice. What would be in your opinion a the realistic market price when there is none for sale or has been in this condition with a first generation back case in the last 3 years 馃榾 First decent offer means "come close to what i ask otherwise i do not sell 馃榿 " The bracelet sold in used condition recently for 750$ in a deplorable state. The back case if it is original is nearly impossible to find

It's hardly that difficult to find. There's another for sale on this very forum right now which isn't quite as good as yours admittedly (paint is coming off the caseback) but apart from that it's spotless, and is only half the price.

The correct terminology would then be "First near offer to my asking gets the watch" Has nothing to do with decency IMO.

As for pricing; I sold here a 145.022-69 last year in September, in mint condition, head only, for USD 2675 shipping inclusive. I consider that issue, with the engraved seahorse, as more attractive than your model. But that麓s me, and my skills as a businessman may need improvement....

Lets get some facts straight. Nobody on this forum ever sold a complete 145.022-69ST with the original band which is 1175/640 with the first generation case back. Heads - Yes, bracelets - Maybe, Back covers - maybe. All together - NOBODY . Lets ask around who actually has one 馃榿 like this. As for the price. Its up to the buyer to decide if it is worth buying. By the way when it comes to facts, guess what i do for a living. I sell watches. I own several that exist in 10 or less than 10 worldwide in my private collection. Before i write anything about any watch i do a lot of research

If that is the case my original 145.022 with original 1175 bracelet and 640 end-links must be worth more than I listed for!? 馃榿

Hi 馃榾

P1050267.jpg

May I ask a question? First let me say that Chaka's watch is exceptional if pricy. I would consider buying if I could. But a knowledgable collector who publishes the Speedmaster 101 website seems to suggest here that this style is an NOS case back as it does not bear a date. Could someone clarify? How does that affect desirability and value?

The one you and the website are talking about is a transitional case back and not the first generation case back.
Here

http://www.chronomaddox.com/moonmovement.html

Watch towards the end of the page for the first generation case back. This one that i have is not NOS but the correct one for this particular watch. There are NOS case backs.

Here a nice article to the case back differences

Can you check the link?.
It doesn't seem to work.

I just sold a complete correct ser earlier this year and the dial was in better shape with no lume degradation to Mathlar. You can ask him lol. Trust me your set is nice but not that rare.

69 with straight line inscription is not all that rare. I see them come up for sale now and then. For the asking price you can get a great pre-moon 145.012 or 105.013 cal 321 or 145.022 transitional and some change.
