    Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some quick input on a early 70s Omega Speedmaster Mark II movement. I am mostly concerned with the movement being in good health and having minimal parts replaced. Thanks for any input you guys can give!

    The brake in the OP's watch is the two piece metal one.

    No delrin brake in there.

    Looks pretty much correct to me, apart from likely needing a service.

    Metal brake in the OP's photo. The movement is not in great condition though - is dirty and has clearly been exposed to significant moisture at some point.

    I know usually movements with water damage have dial issues too. Here is a pic from the front. Looks like the lume is being reapplied.

    Ended up going for over $2000 US so I passed on this one. I’m going to wait on a 166.032 instead and save up some more.
