Something like a Time Capsule with one of the best dials, i`ve ever had :
Omega Speedmaster Ed White in excellent Condition. Even with a few choices ... Good Case with a few dents from Wear. Nothing distracting from the Beauty of this ICONIC model. Was not polished by us. All Case lines are there. All Caseback stampings good to read ; just in used Condition. As is should be with a Tool Watch. Pushers replaced during an Omega Service. Like new, but the Pusher Cap diameter is 5 mm , instead of 4.5 mm. Choice 1 :::: The Buyer can buy 2 Original and complete Pushers with 4.5 mm diameter Caps, if she/he wishes to do so :::: Original Omega signed Crystal; in excellent condition. Was polished in the past. Crown Correct early Service . Smooth functions as it should be. Comes with an Excellent Condition vintage Fostner NASA " Planked" Metal Band and that has attached an removable Calendar from January 1968 in unblemished Condition !!!! Moon Landing Material. Cool feature. Adjustable and long enough for every Big Wrist as well. Choice 2 :::: The Buyer can change the Forstner for an Stretch Omega Steel band from the 60`s, if he/she wishes to do that. We talk about that and the Price after the Sale :::: Choice 3 :::: The sometimes pictured Pulsometer Bezel came with this Speedmaster as well. This Auction here is with the Tachymeter Dot over 90 Bezel which has faded into greyish colour , but is in well kept condition . The Stainless Bezel Ring has a dent around 11 o`clock. ( We would like to keep the Pulsometer Bezel, but the Buyer can talk to us AFTER he won.) DIAL: Unblemished !! All Original .Original Lume; aged as it should be after 58 years. Not that Modern Re Lume Pumpkin Colour Lume. Hands Original Lume has aged differently, because of the exposure to the elements from both sides. Greyish lume here. This here is the most attractive Dial possible. All imperfections, you see in the pictures, are on the Crystal or mini dust on the dial !! The Original Tritium Lume does not glow after all these years. In the Sun the dial looks grey , but is still very dark . There is NO Rust anywhere in the Case or Movement. Very well taken Care off; used, but something like out of a Time Capsule... The Movement works as designed. Keeps very good time and all Chrono functions crisp and precise. The Movement looks fantastic; check out the Screw Heads ! Many look untouched . Movement number correct for the last Omega Factory Sale Release of the Ed White Model. We have applied for the Factory Excerpt of the Archives . Which seems delayed due to the Omega Factory Museum has some Troubles temporarily to get these done ... As soon as this Omega Factory Service is back in operation, we pay for the EoA as well. So, here it is ! An Excellent Condition Omega Speedmaster with Roots in the NASA Moon Landing efforts. This Model was Worn by the Astronauts ... You become a Guardian of one of the most recognizable Tool Watches ever made . Ready for everyday wear, as it was designed for.

Pls. ask all questions before you buy. Good Luck !

Price : Netto to me with bank based transfer like Send, Zelle,Wise and others ::::: US $ 8850. Euro 8250.


Our listing is in US $ . Payment in A$ or Euros fine. And we ship in a way,that you do not have to pay all EU fees ! Bid with confidence. We are trading vintage watches for over 33 years. Good luck ! +++++++ And:::: shipment worldwide with courier EMS is on us as well !!!

With his eBay store, I would say he is. Which makes it a little strange that he always sells on the private sales forum. But Achim has never tried to hide it, so whatever.

Legit question. I had a normal job, that paid all expenses. My collecting philosophy was always to buy what was available from a certain watch. Then trading up the same model until it reached my expectations. Selling the previous ones on the way ... So, lots of buying and selling. Then a Court ordered divorce settlement forced me to sell many very, very rare watches. To buy my ex wife her own house. Still not a Dealer, who sells to make a living. Then started again. Slowly. Now at 74 years young, I did quit eBay because I go after their Australian Bank Licence for a violation of customer protection laws. Will take a while through the Ombudsman for the Banking regulator. eBay thinks, I owe them $ 4500 for a Speedy,they refunded the crooked Buyer in the USA and told him, he can keep the item as well. Then eBay deducted that money 3 times now from my bank and I clawed it back via my bank and now blocked eBay's Bank access completely. Will test Chrono24 next. Slowly unwind the collection , because my daughters want only one watch each. One has already a Speedy as her Doctorate gift. The younger one wants my Father's issued and perfectly working Glashuette chrono from 1942. And that's it. Not everybody, who sells his Watches, is a Dealer.

@watchyouwant , I only asked because in your posting you kept saying "we" when referencing yourself.

Congrats on the sale, someone got a great deal on a nice watch. And congrats on smart daughters!

The " We " is an old habit; the 2. One is the Watchmaker. Without his skills I'd be lost....
