    So, I am buying my grail and this will need to go.
    I love it and it's my favorite watch. But, there's always a Speedmaster for sale...

    It's reference 145.022-69. Straight Writing.

    The condition is good.
    I'd say the case looks very nice and sharp. There are scratches and dings. Caseback has some sloppy watchmaker marks. Don't see any signs of polishing, but never know. It's 50 years old.
    Should be correct parts according to the MO book.

    The dial has a very nice color and indexes have pretty lume.
    Hands look original to me, and they have a glow for a couple of minutes max.
    The bezel has wear, some say it's a ghost.

    There's a little mark on something at 2 minutes marker.

    Omega logo on the crystal.

    Serviced in 2019 September by Simon Freese. I have a paper for that.
    Watch works pretty precisely, haven't measured exactly, but keeps time well (+10s/day or so).
    Full movement service.
    Omega hands were color-matched to the indexes.
    Case cleaned, not polished. Crystal polished.
    Omega crown new, not sure if it's original to this reference.

    I will throw in a couple of straps (worth 200+ €, B&R Bands).
    I just received extra straps from Joseph Bonnie if interested.

    I'm located in the EU, Estonia.
    Price: 4600€

    Shipping: 40€ insured DHL Express Worldwide 1-2 business days.
    No returns, so ask first and check photos.
    I have plenty of feedback here in OF (search my name) and 10+ as a seller in eBay: https://www.ebay.com/usr/ricoschette

    Many photos here: https://www.instagram.com/wa666ou/

    I prefer bank transfer. PayPal F&F or buyer pays the fees.

    Did I mention that it's a strap monster!

    Tested how the chronograph was working.
    For me, it looks good, although there's sometimes like hacking or missing.
    I don't know if it's normal or not.

    I had it on the bracelet and compared it to the modern Speedy. Bracelet has already been sold. Looks great, but I prefer the leather straps.
    Btw, the buyer can have 10 of my best photos taken of this watch in full resolution. You can print out those photos to A3+ size. I have like 30 shots taken of it. Speedy is a very photogenic watch.

    Some people have asked me if I still have the bracelet - NO.

    Well, bumping this.
    I have 2 more serious potential buyers, but they still are trying to get the money :)
    Watch is reserved until Wednesday.
