    I'm making a conscious effort to re-focus my collection this year and where Speedmasters are concerned I'm only looking at 321's, so I'm selling one of my 861's.

    I bought this in June last year and it's the watch discussed in this thread.

    It had several issues, most notably with the movement but I thought it had potential so I took a chance on it. After spending a while trying to source replacement parts myself I spoke to STS who advised me to send it in for an inspection. Thankfully, there were no other demons to be found and they were able to rescue it, rectifying all the issues. Its been worn frequently since then and is running perfectly.

    Details:

    Dial - standard and correct C1, 145.022-69 step dial in excellent condition. The lume was missing when I acquired it so STS relumed the markers with aged compound that matches others from the period.

    Hands - original C2 hands, relumed with dial but original paint to my knowledge.

    Bezel - original and correct B2 dot next to 90 bezel. In excellent condition.

    Case - original 145.02-69 case with correct Straight Writing caseback. Not refinished under my ownership but looks like it has been lightly polished in the past. Stil nice and thick, with brushed edges still visible and no corrosion. Knock visible on top of 5 o clock lug, although I hadn't actually noticed this until I came to take these pictures.

    Crown - original and correct A3, 24 tooth crown.

    Pushers - new Omega pushers.

    Movement - original Omega calibre 861, with correct 31 million serial. Fully refurbished by STS in summer last year and working perfectly. Remainder of two year warranty to Sept 2020.

    Extras - comes with Omega travel pouch, service certificate and quality leather strap. It's currently on a brown leather but I can put it on a lighter brown or black to suit.

    Overall this is a lovely looking vintage Speedmaster that I've worn a lot over the last few months. It has all original parts and is fully serviced so makes a great daily wearer.

    Terms:

    Price - £4350 GBP net to me.
    Watch is located in the UK so no duty for buyers within the EU.
    Buyer responsible for any fees associated with payment.
    Fully insured worldwide shipping included in price.
