    Omega Speedmaster 345.0808 Apollo XI 25th Anniversary. Made in limited number for Italy. Comes on an unused Omega strap.

    In excellent condition. Numbered on the case band, 350/999. Made for Italian market in 1994. These numbers are not deeply engraved and often become polished off during wear. This watch shows them well.

    Note the unused Omega strap.

    The strap is flat, and never been on anyone's wrist. (The watch has, but not in my possession!)

    $3500 USD Incl Delivery to USA or UK

    Provenance.

    Acquired by me in 2011. It has remained in my safe ever since – in a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
    There are no papers or service history. I would recommend a service if you wish to wear it regularly.

    Delivery and Payment

    Is included, but face to face welcome.

    Payment by Bank Transfer is preferred for these larger amounts. I propose we both exchange ID copies and speak by phone to feel comfortable. PPFF is ok too.


    Terms

    I only sell to refocus my collection. I am not motivated by profit and so I have no reason to embellish or over describe. I have been on ebay since 2002 with 100% feedback. I have bought and sold a few watches on OF and you can find my feedback by searching my username. I am the author of Speedmaster101.com and so you can understand protecting my reputation is first.

    Price includes insured delivery in the UK and USA, and will include delivery elsewhere unless you have some expensive needs.

    Returns are welcome if you don't cost me anything to get it back to me and the watch is in the same condition as it arrived with you.

    I am a private collector who rarely sells. When I do, most of the time my watches sell very quickly, and to the first person that PM's me with the words, "I will buy this watch now at your price".

    In the past several people have been upset because although they are the first to reply, they ask if I can do a better price - meanwhile someone has agreed my price.

    I am not in the slightest bit offended by offers, but remember that they will only make sense if the watch remains unsold after a few days.

    Delivery can usually be facilitated almost anywhere

    Are you sure you were not born in 1994?
