Omega Speedmaster, opinions sort

Azveld

the tritium of the dial seems removed in places, the bezel is too recent (sell it to @Ep-irl), it seems to me that this second hand appeared later.

Need more photos to confirm this.

Perhaps more info on yourself, why you’re looking for a Speedmaster, what details you have about the watch, whether it’s dealer or private sale etc.

5k what. This is an international forum.

As you probably know, the photos are terrible so I can't read the serial number or see numbers on the endlinks, but I'm still not seeing any obvious major issues beyond the bezel. The crown is probably a replacement. Of course, there are obvious cosmetic condition issues on the dial, hands, and bracelet, but you can see them as well as we can.

My sense is that the price is pretty good for what it is, even with the flaws, especially including the value of the bracelet. Another $2k (net) and it could be all correct. But it's not a top example, and probably not the watch I would buy as a gift for my closest friend.

Imo, if you are willing to drop 10k, buy a new 3861

These pictures are horrendous, which always makes me highly suspicious. I'm a terrible photographer, but in this age of amazing cell phone cameras, there is no excuse for these low quality pictures. From what I can see, meh, yeah, its a '67 Speedy, but its been molested, and more so its just unattractive and its not going to get more attractive over time or with TLC. The dial plots are missing lume or blotchy/discolored and that is just an immediate turn off for me, especially on '67's which can have a beautiful creamy patina. Bezel/crown replaced somewhere, bracelet appears pretty stretched out from the terrible pictures, so that devalues it. I'd ask for better pictures, or just pass. The watch market is all of a sudden very soft, its a buyers market, so act accordingly. I think there may be better examples to be had if you choose to be patient. Good Luck !
