Update 4/30/2024: a fellow OF member has made a substantial deposit on this Speedy and will send the balance due by May 15th. Glad to see this one stay in the OF family Omega Speedmaster Professional Reference: 3590.50 Serial # 48,29X,XXX Caliber: 861 Bracelet: 1479/812 Aesthetic Condition: No major scratches or gouges in/on the crystal. The hour markers on the dial have developed a beautiful warm patina. The tritium in the hands matches the dial and is nice and full, showing no signs of crumbling or loss of material. The case is in very nice condition for it’s age with very sharp lines on the surface transitions from brushed to high polished finish. As can be expected for a watch this age that's been carefully worn and enjoyed, there are some small hairline scratches and swirl marks, and one small flea bite on the brushed side of the lower right lug (near the chrono reset button). There are no dings or dents in/on the bezel. Caseback metal is in nice condition, no signs of any caseback tool slippage/scratches. The enamel in the letters on the caseback is still nice and bold w/ no signs of enamel loss in the lettering. The bracelet is in nice condition as well, no major scratches on the links or clasp, very little sag when held horizontally. Mechanical Condition: Once wound and set down for 24 hours, the watch runs about 5 seconds slow compared to my quartz stopwatch. I've included a timegrapher pic to show the amplitude. The timegraher shows slightly better daily accuracy (1-2 sec/day slow), but I'm sticking with the real world results (-5 sec/day) in my representation of the time keeping ability. The chronograph functions (start, stop, and reset to "0") are all in good working order. Fitment: will comfortably fit a 7.25" wrist. Box & Card: No box, no cards included Price: $3,600 Shipping: $45 for fully insured 2-day delivery to your local FedEx facility (USA shipping only) Form of Payment: bank wire or Zelle from US based buyers / US based banks only My Location: Arizona, USA Returns: No returns. Please carefully review the photos that I have posted here to make sure you are comfortable with the condition of the watch.

Thank you for looking, and thank you to the OF admins for maintaining this great community for us.
The 3590.50 is the most bang for the buck of the Speedy Pro models. It's neo-vintage, but the fully brushed 1479/812 bracelet gives it a vintage look, the lume on this model patinates beautifully and the caliber 861 movement is a proven, reliable workhorse with "space cred" as it orbited the moon. You can't do much better than this model for a first Speedmaster. GLWS.
