I've been looking for a 80s/90s Speedy for a while now and have found it fairly difficult to find a decent one for a reasonable price. I recently came across this one with serial 473x xxx stamped ST145022. I'm in US and dealer is international and claims that watch is all original with unknown service history. 1171/1 bracelet with 633 end links. The price is $4,250 USD plus shipping. Seems almost too low compared to what I've been seeing out there and would like other opinions from the pros on this forum. I'd like the best example I can get for my money, but I am also willing to pay more for more value. All opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.

i do not know a lot about this model, so i will let someone else comment on whether it looks good or bad.
my advice to you would be to request more pictures from the seller because the hands covers some of the text in all the pictures just to be sure the seller isn't covering something up

The S in Speedmaster should tell you something.

Buy it before someone else does.

It's been available for purchase for a couple of months now. People aren't exactly beating the door down for it. At this price, another reason for me to take pause.
