·Hi guys,
I am selling this original Speedmaster 145.022-69 "Straight Writing".
It's obvious that this watch has been worn but it's in a really honest condition. As far as I can see it still has all the original parts.
Dial is really superb with just one little tool mark under the left register. All the indices are perfect and have the original ( typical ) green/yellow lume. The hands have aged to a stunning old white color with a nice sandy lume color. The seconds hand has a slightly lighter color but I can guarantee it's an original tritium hand. Hard to say if it's the original hand from 69 or wether it has been replaced at a later moment in time.
I included a picture under UV light ( picture 5 ). Everything glows and fades away as it should be.
Case is very good and still very sharp. It seems like the sides may have had a light polish in the past.
Case back is showing the straight text and logo. Most of the black paint is still visible. No touching up has been done. Correct A3 24 - wide logo crown. Original pushers with the typical green oxidation on the tubes.
Dot close to 70 - narrow C bezel in great condition.
Movement is very clean and it has been checked by my watchmaker who's conclusion was that it's running perfect and not in need of a service. Chrono functions are perfect as well. Starts, stops and resets perfect.
I have been wearing the watch for a couple weeks now and it's keeping time extremely well.
Serial number: 3284xxxx ( correct for this reference )
Price: "head only": 5.800 euros
Optional: Forstner flat link bracelet brand new: + 125 euros
Best regards,
Bernard
