Hi, I could buy a 145.022-74, serviced in Switzerland and it makes +3s/day Original bracelet 1171/633 It has extract of the archives - produced March 19, 1971 but no box or papers. All parts correct, overall condition is really nice. Price to negotiate 4700Eur What do you think? Thanks, Jakub
With the serial and production date, it should be a 1450.22-69 instead of 74. Have you seen the backcase stamp? If yes, it could be a swapped caseback.
The caliber was made in March 1971, but I guess the whole watch was assembled some year later - that is why 145.022-74 on the caseback. What do you think about the price?
No, the watch was produced in March 1971 with a movement number that indicates it should be a 145.022-69 Early 1971 production date is also indicative of a 69.
That's in my opinion more see what you want to see rather than see what it most likely is. And 4,7k Euro for a '74 is quite ambitious anyways.EDIT: the bezel is a current replacement too, not a DNN Well, judging it by the dial it's not a '71 or '69. But the production date tells a different story. Maybe it was a '71 or '69 before the current dial and caseback came on.
Oh... I thought the Extract of the Archives tells the date of the production of the caliber, not the watch. But yeah... https://www.fratellowatches.com/omegas-extract-of-the-archives-how-it-works/ I will inform the seller and see what he tells me, thanks.
Agreeing with the above here. Technically, by all that we can actually see in this photo, it could be a -69 or -74 that has had the dial replaced for a -74 or -76, and the bezel replaced with a modern one... New bezel, new hands, -74/-76 dial, -74 case back (allegedly), and -69/-71 movement. In terms of originality, its basically Frankenstein. Sorry to down it, OP! But that's why ya asked
I would love to know who the seller is and where as this is at best only taking advantage of someone who hasn't got full expertise..at least it's deceicive.
Thanks guys! I’m glad I asked, I informed the seller about this, I will see what he says Obviously i have to buy the Moonwach Only Thanks once again OF
For future reference, I highly recommend reading up/researching on speedmaster101.com, lots of valuable information with pricing guide as well.
It's an invaluable resource. You'll save much more by knowing your s*** when buying than you spent on the book (plus its just so cool). The E-book version with the identification is a great quick reference as well, but can't replace all of the info in the full book.
