Ok folks I’ve been told I don’t know what I’m talking about on this reference. Let’s see if I’ve lost my mind.

What does everyone else see for this piece which was purchased for over $6,000usd apparently.

Really tough to judge it on one out of focus picture. Can't really see the dial condition. Hands look like replacement ones. Guessing the lume looks fine but can't tell for certain. Not sure the scratches on crystal are surface ones, there might be a deeper one at 1 o'clock. Need more pictures of the case and back to see how that is. Could it be worth $6000, maybe. But without decent pictures, no real way to say.

Yup, what Dan said. But also the dial seems wrong, the shape of the ‘S’ and the drop of the lower case ‘r’ in Speedmaster look off.. or potentially redialed, but then the photo isn’t great, oh and the bracelet is wrong. Though I know, that you already know what the issues are @Foo2rama, here’s a photo of mine for comparison:

Service dial, service bezel (both likely replaced at the same service in the early '90s), service hands that look like luminova in the photo

My notes:

Bezel - No Serif 7's indicate post 1990 replacement bezel - https://speedmaster101.com/base500-bezel-identification/

Dial - As sales paperwork states this is November of 76, you would expect the "High" S dial where the S does not drop to the bottom of the P, this was a change post September of 1977 in the -76 models, this is an even later Squat S which is late 1980's through the late 90's era production - https://speedmaster101.com/145-022_update/ (You can see the correct one for this watch on the -76, and the other theoretical dial that would be technically accepted on the -78.

Hands - really look like luminova replacements, and this can be tested to see if the hands hold a bright charge with a flash light for more then 20 seconds

Owners notes....

I am all wrong and have no idea what I am saying...
