    Hi all!

    Up for sale is my Speedmaster 145.022-69 SW Apollo XI with extract (delivered to Japan, dated May 19th, 1971).

    This is the rare Apollo XI straight writing caseback (~500 made).

    Will come fitted on a custom brown Horween shell cordovan strap (will fit up to 6.5 inches) with period vintage Omega (MG) buckle.

    Extract will be digital for now as I have not received the physical copy yet; I will gladly mail it out when it arrives, however. Apologies for the poor movement shots, as I am using the photos the last seller provided me.

    The good:
    -nice attractive dial with yellow luminous material intact.
    -case sharp with straight facets, maintaining brushed sides and lugs; unpolished caseback
    -handset in good condition
    -original 70's crown and crystal
    -clean, original movement that runs and sets well (+-8 seconds a day); last seller states it was serviced in 2018.
    -bezel has faded to a blue-grey ghost tone (may be a 'bad' to some!)
    -extract

    The bad:
    -I had replaced the minute and hour subdial counters (correct and NOS) as they were damaged during a hand reset (I will include the original hands)
    -some damage on the chronohand (note the horizontal lines just above the base).
    -small splotch by the 11 o clock marker
    -some pitting between the lugs
    -very minor pitting on bottom right corner of dial where it meets the tension ring
    -case back has a few opening marks

    I think given the above, this piece sits above a 'good' but below 'very good' on the Speedmaster101 price chart.

    $7000USD via PayPal Friends including fully insured shipping.

    The watch and I are located in Vancouver, B.C. and I am open to F2F meet ups as well. Trades will be considered.

    I have been buying and selling watches on eBay for 5 years with 100% feedback and I have completed a successful transaction here on OF a few months ago (sold my E855 Memovox!).

    Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you OF! :)
    Amrit
