    Hi ΩF

    For sale comes a fairly aged but all original Ed White Speedmaster, serviced two years ago, fully inspected last week and ready to be worn.

    You know the drill - I cannot only keep buying - I have to unclutter, make some space and release some budget to hunt the watches that are on my wishlist.

    More information about the watch itself here : http://speedmaster101.com/105-003/

    I am uploading high-res photographs, untouched, unbalanced, unedited. If you would like to see anything else, please ask.

    The dial has no damage, the lume has a typical -64 grain. Hands obviously tritium, hour and minute hands have some darker spots - dirt or some sort of corrosion. A perfect DON bezel.

    The pushers and crown are original. The case was refreshed at some stage. Not much material removed, just a light finish. Ω very well logo visible on the hesalite crystal.

    The suede strap from Bandrbands is like new, a vintage 16mm Omega Buckle is fitted.

    The caseback is clean and the engravings even and visible.

    The movement was serviced in 2017. I gave it to Romain from https://www.atelier-h13.ch last week for full inspection before putting it up for sale.

    Box in a great conservation condition. Hinges open and close firmly.

    What you see is what you get.

    Pros :

    - Everything is coherent and original, movement clean / recently serviced and good for a while
    - If you really need a correct steel bracelet, let us talk. I have several options that aren't included in this sale
    - Insured shipping included, easy payment options in your local currency
    - Put on it a DON bezel you already have, sell this perfect one and you end up with a nice Ed White for less than 10 grand (!)

    Cons :

    - The double bevel on the caseback looks a bit "round" if I really have to mention something
    - You might be scared to ding that DON :D

    I am a private collector and will set the post OHPF after getting the first PM saying "I will buy this watch at your price".

    Terms and conditions : 12’500 CHF / 12'900 USD / 11'600 EUR / 9'900 GBP wired directly to my bank account for the watch as pictured + Box and Extract from the Omega Archives.

    I will include fully insured shipping to wherever Fedex can deliver.

    The watch and I are in Switzerland. If you happen to be in Switzerland, face to face always welcome : I value meeting people.

    Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality, unedited and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Feel free to ask for special details or angles you want to see better, prior buying.

    100% positive feedbacks here as well as other platforms - can link with happy buyers worldwide, on request.

    Thanks ΩF for the space :thumbsup:

    Great seller/collector and package :thumbsup: I also send my watches to Romain (https://www.atelier-h13.ch/) and can vouch for his work. While by no means rare, for every 10 Ed Whites that pop up FS maybe 1 is a -64 and the rest are -65s.

    If you don’t like the Bandrbands suede strap, just let me know. I can put it on something more conventional, a brown or black vintage leather, whatsoever.

    If you want it only on steel, a nice and matching 7912 (1/66) with filed #516 end links is available for a friendly price increase.

    Okay folks this goes withdrawn. I will enjoy it for now and first see what happens to the market, with the new reedition announced today.

    Thanks to all who have inquired or made an offer.

    I know, a lot of people don’t sell to zero or low posts count members. Sometimes I do. Like with the member who inquired for this watch and just completed a painless transaction.

    Some people should have joined this place earlier. In particular the new owner of this Ed White :) Happy to know this watch will stay in the « OF family » :thumbsup: [/SOLD]

    Thanks OF for the space !
