OF - I am sitting for the Bar (law) in two weeks and would love to not be thinking about an empty bank account (well or wife telling me about it).

I believe this is a great example of a vintage Speedy powered by the infamous cal 861. I will spare you the particulars about how great Speedmaster are and attempt to accurately describe watch.

The dial is in great shape with light toning on the markers. Case and bracelet have minimal surface scratches. Hardly a desk dive scratch on the buckle, which should indicate overall condition. Bezel is also free from major distractions. Serial number 48,2**,*** (covered out of respect for the new owner) places this Speedy circa 1993.

Comes complete with original stamped warranty card, instruction manual, Omega booklet, Omega leather holder, red case, and outer box. The 1498/840 bracelet is also complete with the extra links in the box.

Watch is functioning as it should - keeping great time and the chronograph is resetting properly. I was told by the previous owner that the watch was serviced in 2015, but I have nothing to verify that, so consider it unserviced. The watch was not sold until 1999 and appears to have had a very easy life.

I have owned a few Speedies and this one wins the cake for being the most original. I just bought a great example of a 145.0022 from a forum member, and honestly can't afford to keep both. By process of elimination, this one has to go because it will free up more funds.

Ask questions, post comments, shoot me PMs. I have been a member of this forum for over 6 months, learned a lot, but still have a lot to learn. I have purchased a few things here: Speedmaster (https://omegaforums.net/threads/zero-worries-selling-to-wyo_watch.60551/#post-754152) and a numbered Moonwatch Only book. I also have a reference as a seller (https://omegaforums.net/threads/micah-aka-wyo_watch-is-good-to-go.57449/#post-710459). I have also sold plenty of watches on Facebook and eBay with 100% feedback.



I am asking $3,650 and accept PayPal f&f or regular with references so long as you cover the fee. The buyer can also choose method/timelines of shipment.

Thanks for the space

 

Bumping with a price drop - feel free to shoot me an offer!

 

bumpin - had some trade offers but still here

 

From a fellow 93 owner, you won't be disappointed if your looking to enter the speedy market.
Old enough to be tritium and patina but not so old your paying out the a*** for it (yet) and always classic styling.

 

Thanks mate - I appreciate it and definitely agree.

You sure you don't need another?

 

Let's get a bump and a price drop! Bar is in 8 days! Let's get it sold before!

 

One last bump before the bar - shoot me an offer and let's get this on another wrist!

 

OHPF - thanks for the space

 

hope you crushed it today!

 

Thanks mate - it was brutal, one more day and hope it's all behind me

 

civ pro AND conflicts in one essay - brutal.

 

Haha - you either wrote it or took with me?!

 

took it!

 

Congrats on the sale, but just an FYI for the new owner - trying to attach a date of 1993 to this watch is in two ways problematic. First is that the serial numbers after about 48x don't accurately coincide with any production, manufacturing or sale year. Second, if this watch originally came with the 1498/840 bracelet then this watch most certainly wasn't manufactured until 1995 as the 1498/840 bracelet wasn't in production until then. The 1498/840 bracelet started production at the same time as the model numbers of the Speedy Pro changed from 359x to 357x.

Really nice example and will only get better looking with age.
