    Hi All,

    I have a couple 561 and 564 Constellations, but am now in the market for a Speedmaster, but am not clued up on them at all.

    I am looking for an older model, 60's or early 70's. I know it probably a bit "how long is a piece if string" but is there anything I should look out for?

    Just looking for a basic model - i.e. not looking to spend a fortune on my frst one.

    Cheers
    Nick

    I'd look for a 1970s or 1980s Speedmaster Pro, probably a Ref 145.022, they're plentiful and very good value for the quality of watch they are.

    There's a 1978 Speedmaster 145.022 for sale in the Watch Sales forum, if that's what you're looking for.

    Thanks guys - Flyer - dont know anything about that particular model, or even what it looks like :) (heading off to google it now) but how much are you asking for it?
