    Hello all,

    Offering my 1968 Transition Speedy ready to be enjoyed as much as I have: This well used & original Speedmaster Pro Reference 145.022-68 as-is, as shown. Asking US $5200 or close to, includes shipping (fully insured). Acquirer pays PayPal fees, if any.

    Watch runs great, no issues. Chronograph starts, stops & resets as it should. It's taken its share of desk dives over the years as expected for a classic 1968 tool watch.

    Dial
    ~ Step, Professional, applied metal Omega logo & long hour indices
    ~ Chronograph hand is square end type
    ~ T Swiss T properly positioned
    ~ Original patinaed dial and hands.

    If I didn't already own this reference, this would be gone.

    The best Speedie for a daily wearer. The Transitional. The raised emblem dial of the 145.012-67, the nice DON bezel and the easy maintenance and parts availability of the 861 movement. Best of all worlds.
