    Hi All,
    I'm selling an Omega Speedmaster 1967 - 145.012.

    This Speedie was comprehensively serviced and overhauled by me about 5 months ago. It has positive and properly functioning chronograph reset (including usually the troublesome 12 hour recorder.) The chronograph seconds hand is smooth and does not stutter.

    The case was not cleaned during the service and the original pushers and crown are present. It wears a very nice DON bezel and the caseback is in fairly good condition.

    Inside is of course the Cal 321 and many parts were either replaced or refinished - such as the screws, to make it look and run properly. The beat error was also adjusted, something that is not often done during a normal service. There is some degradation of the plating to the balance cock and the regulating pointer is an earlier type. Neither of which affect the functioning of course.

    This 67 comes on an original 1171 screw link bracelet. This is not a modern replacement.

    The only real downside on this piece is that the dial is missing much of its lume. It appears to have fallen off rather than being washed as some still remains on the dial step. The hands have great patina and it the whole piece is highly original.

    Priced to sell at $6500 USD including express international shipping. Paypal +4% I will help wherever I can with customs etc.

    Pics are unretouched and taken in bright sunlight today. Timegrapher photos available to those who can interpret them.

    Looks very nice, however that does appear to be a modern 1171/1 bracelet, are you certain that it has screws and not pins? The label on the clasp of 1171/633 was changed from 1171/1 fairly recently but it still has the number 32 on the clasp and the logo inside a square instead of a trapezoid. I suppose just the clasp could be a replacement. Also, those are the modern 633 end links as well.

    As Sterling has now overtaken the Argentine Peso, as the worst performing currency of 2016......& the UK is increasingly resembling the Weimar Republic, prior to Machtergreifung

    That's me out - Otherwise, I would all over this, faster than a rat up a drainpipe

    ( Incidentally, ABC executes superb colour matched reluming, as evidenced by so many pristine, currently offered 5513's )

    GLWS

    Yes you are correct Sky, I have several Speedies that I'll be listing. I got the bracelet mixed up with another one (dont know how tbh) I will be including that early 1171 with this sale as originally described.

    That must be a first in this Private Sales forum. :thumbsup: Usually sellers say something like "service history unknown".
