    Hi. Maybe we could talk on the phone about my 145.022-74 with Extract of the Archives dating it to October 21 1976, where for the right price I might be persuaded to part with it.

    I'm on the fence about parting with it, so after seeing your post 2 weeks ago I've just lurked here before deciding to put my feelers out tonight. Just send me a PM with your phone and a good time to call if you are interested.

    It has the original 1171/633 bracelet with some stretch which isn't severe - I put the 1171 away in the safe in favor of an Omega leather strap to preserve the original bracelet. I believe the original bracelet will accommodate a 7.5" wrist, but I haven't used it since it was service in 2014. I seem to recall it was loose on my 7.3" wrist. I would have to dig it out of the safe to check. I've tried several straps and bracelets in the pics that would not be included.

    I've been very happy with it, but I wore it infrequently because I prefer a watch with modern lume as my every day wear. It's been my "statement watch" that says I've had good taste in watches for a long time. After the service at the Tick Tock Shop on July 5th 2014 and one followup regulation its average daily rate was as good as any of my modern Omega chronometers at only 1-2 seconds fast/day using watch tracker app. It stayed consistent and after a couple of years I stopped checking the rate.

    Right now it's at my watchmaker getting its next routine service so I can start wearing it again. I'm expecting it back by the end of this July, with a 1 year warranty. I stopped using it last summer when it was 4 years past the last service, to help avoid any wear on the internal parts.

    So, while the timekeeping will be regulated again with the service, I usually like wear it a 24/7 for a few days after a service to see how it's doing, and then go back to have it tweaked one more time. After the 2014 service it was +2 on his Orbita winder but +9/day on my wrist, and he adjusted it to only 1-2 sec fast on my wrist a couple of weeks later.

    The watch case itself has a noticeable ding at the top edge of the tip of the 11 o'clock lug, that you can see in the 1st and last photos, but it's not easy to catch with the naked eye while wearing the watch. It's easier to see on closeups. I didn't not want to have the watch case polished, or have this laser welded for a beauty mark. The most recent photos are the 1st two on the Omega Barenia leather that it's currently wearing (not included).

    You barely see the dent until you zoom in further and further.

    I could still be persuaded to part with mine in the pictures above, for the right price ^ which I just had serviced and got back in August 2019. Timekeeping below was measured between August 19 thru August 25 2019.

    It's a 145.022-74 with the extract above from Oct 21 1976. Comes with the original 1171/633 and a spare NATO (choice of leather or nylon).
