Hi Guys
This is my 1969 Speedy.
Just serviced and now fully functional.
The watch is completely original.
I have a 1098/575 bracelet on it which is identical to the 1116/575.
I can't find a reference to the 1098 ever being standard on the 69.
Anyone shed some light on this

Thanks

Con

 

Cool, this is the 220 bezel!

 

I like this

 

I can't help with the 1098. But MWO says the 1116/575 is correct for 145.022-68 till -71....
and my 220 is happy to sea a brother...

 

You 220 bezel guys walk around here like you have stars on your bellies!

Just kidding, lovely 69's and very very cool 220' bezels!

 

Shoot for the stars

you can always grab the moon on your way down

oopss wrong forum . . .

 

Shot for the Stars. I would say it, but I'm fairly certain it would get me banned here.

To the OP.... Lovely looking '69 Speedmaster. Beautiful condition and what a great year for Speedmasters. Enjoy.

 

Great! That's mine:

 

Hi guys

I'm new to the speedy world
Is the 220 bezel rare or less available?

Thanks

Con

 

Can I join the party.

 

Steve any idea how many of these were made. Do we know when exactly they were made
Con

 

They were made for a few months in 1970, after the end of the DON bezels. Once the error was realized the correct replacement bezel, with 200, was used.

 

Thanks for the reply. I haven't seen too many around in my 5 years looking. They must be quite rate.

 

Hi,
here my 145.022-ST69 with 220 insert. Is it truly rare?
I don't know ...

I'm new to the forum. I have a Speedmaster I bought new in 1973. I am greedily absorbing everything I can about the history of the Speedmaster. I just learned of the 220 bezel; mine, of course, is the 200 type. Very interesting!

 

No 220 but it's chocolate.

 

I like it I will set myself a goal to get one!

Hear your cry for help. Let me know you're nearby
