·Hi Everyone,
I have been cutting down the collection this year to free up funds for a non-watch related project, and don't have room in the current 8 watch rotation for two Speedmasters, so I am letting this one go.
I purchased this watch in 2013 from the original owner on Ebay. It got a full service in August 2013 from our very own @Archer. The original owner had purchased the watch with a seamaster style bracelet that was only 19mm wide, which I did not keep with the watch.
The dial/hands/bezel look near perfect to me. The case is a bit soft, but not terrible, and I assume the crown is a service replacement. In the past when I have posted pics on this watch someone raised a possible question on the length of the hands. However in doing my own comparison to other 145-012 I do not see any problems. Granted, I'm not a speedmaster expert. If people want to debate the hand length, go for it, that's above my pay grade.
The watch is currently on a brand new double ridged tan leather strap with modern Omega buckle, which is included. I will post a few older pics showing other straps, but those are not included.
When I purchased this watch it was before everyone was getting extracts, and I never felt the need. When running the serial 265436XX on ilovemyspeedmaster.com it comes up with:
The watch is running well, everything works. Please note there is a small scuff in the crystal near the 5 hour marker which you can see in some of the pics, this will easily buff out with polywatch.
I am asking $8900 USD bank wire or paypal F&F. Shipping is your responsibility. I have plenty of references here on OF and also on Ebay (20 years 100% feedback).
Thanks OF for the space, and onto the pics.......
