·Knock knock!
Who is there?
It is from FedEx…
Woppppaaaa...My watch had arrived!
🥰
I did a post before regarding my followed auctions on 69´s:
And this was watch nr 6 that I wrote about, which would come on an own report!
It's always a little nerve-wracking waiting for the watch, and finally assessing the watch once you have it in hand.
But I have to say/write that I am very pleased!
This one was up on an auction,
and I did the usual stuff - looking at the few pictures, having a chat with the curator,
asking for more pictures, trying to assess them and making my Masterplan!
I thought that this 69 was the nicest of the ones that I looked at (and followed).
According to the auction house, a one owner watch, not much used, and probably never serviced (but who really knows…?)
Serial nr 3059xxxx, so a late 69 with the DON bezel.
The dial - Very nice print, no visible oil spots or blemishes, and with a pleasing brown tint/tone.
The lume - they are complete and clean, with a nice warm color.
The bezel - It has the nice thin font, a small chip above the 225, other than that - a Very Good bezel.
The case - the brushing is very visible, with sharp and attractive edges,
it has a few scratches and marks, and there are a couple of dents on the underside of the left upper lugg.
The caseback - the circles are visible, and it is sharp and nice, with only a few tiny scratches.
The movement - the watch had been opened, but no watchmaker marks, very clean, some small scratches on some parts.
A strange thing - the part that has the serial number stamped has a different shade,
maybe a defect or somebody tried to clean or wipe it with a solvent to read the numbers?
The hands - the minute hand had some lumeloss (sadly), and a very small paintloss, but this could be adressed during the service.
The lume on the chronohand had some discoloration.
They light up and fade correctly together with the indices under a UV-light.
The crystal is clean, only a few scratches.
And there is the old Omega logo in the center!
The crown is a 24 tooth with the period correct Omega logo, the pushers necks have a very light aging tone.
It also had a bracelet, a 1039 with 516 endlinks in a nice condition and only missing 2 spring links (correct me if I am wrong here…).
I do think that this bracelet came with the watch.
Grading the watch for my Masterplan - between Good and Very Good (closer to Very Good) with the bonus of the bracelet, so roughly 6400€ / 7500$?
And guess what - I won the watch!
😄
Enjoy the pictures, and please do comment!!
And also OF - ENJOY the upcoming holidays!
SKÅL!

These were from the auction house.
Comparing with my other 69´s!
The latest one is on the left.
And a wrist shot!

Yepp…Auctions with only 145.022-69´s!
And instead of making one post per watch, why not make a Speedy Auction Bonanza Christmas Edition??
There where 5 Speedys that I followed (well actually 6, but that one will get its own separate post in the future….nudge nudge, wink wink!!)!
And trying to keep everything easy - I have the sale prices including the premium.
OK then...…all of them are 145.022-69´s, with stepped dials, short indices, 861 movements and the painted Omega logo.
A couple with SW Flight Qualified casebacks, some have DON´s and some have DNN´s.
These were up on multiple...
