Hi OF, This is my first watch sell here. I only have a buyer review. I made several transactions on ebay and french watch forum. I propose a Speedmaster reference 345.0808 with Apollo XI display back 2nd generation. This watch is a part of the second limited run of 1000 produced units, between 1988 and 1990, with the marking A0xxx on the back. The watch is in good condition, runs perfectly, chrono resets at 12h. No service history. Water resistance is not guaranteed. Case: Still sharp but already polished. The last 12 pics can be useful to make your own evaluation. I can supply more pics, or vid if interest. Bracelet: Supplied with the original 1450 bracelet with 808 endlinks + 3 extra links (not on the pictures) The bracelet is in good condition, with some sign of wear on the clasp. Dial and Hands: Perfect condition, tall & open S Tritium dial type C3, with a wonderful yellow lume. Baton Tritium hands with flat second, type C2, with yellow lume. No damage on the tritium, no damage on the dial. ****** my poor pics really don't reflect reality : the dial is really in perfect condition... ****** Back: Display back type D3, with the specific marking Apollo XI and the serial A0xxx. Minor marks on the steel surface. Crown & Pushers: Omega Crown with 24 teeths. Pushers wide and tall as they should be. Reset pusher is a little bit more "out" than the start/stop (see pic) Glass: Crystal with Omega logo in center with the correct shape, category A4. Bezel: Dot close to 70 without dents or scratches, type B2. Movement: Omega 863 gilt type C2 Movement No. 48.240.1xx: correct range for this reference according MWOnly. -> Ilovemyspeedmaster.com gives the estimated date 02/1989 Set: Supplied with the correct box for the 1989 period, in very good condition. Omega Extract: I ordered an extract but omega cancelled the order; an extract is impossible to get. Omega answered that in this serial range, it happens that the archive are "unreadable or lost". Unlike the 3453.0808 first generation dispatched only to Germany, the second generation could have been dispatched to the rest of the world. I know 3 other persons in the same case, and 2 other people with an extract indicating Germany. I could think that the 345.0808 2nd gen not dispatched to Germany have their archive lost... Omega mailing and cancelled order will be supplied of course. Now, some pics: New pics for polishing evaluation: Good: - dial and lovely index patina - bezel as new - quite rare reference... - 1450/808 Less good: - no paper, no extract - case already polished - some mark of wear on the back ***** I ask 5300eur ***** ***** shipping, fully insured *****: +45eur for France, +90eur elsewhere (UPS) * You can see this watch on ch24 too, not this price (with ch24 fee...!...) * I'm located in France. * Face to face transaction possible in Toulouse area. * Bank wire transfert (-100eur), or Paypal Thanks OF for this free space ! B.
Some interest, and usefull discussions in the last days with different OF members, and expert advices. *** Consensus is that the case has been finally already polished *** - New pics to evaluate that + case description modification. - And price reduction to take in account these remarks 5750->5300 eur.
