    Hi Guys

    I buy mainly Rolex but I have always fancied a Moon watch. Currently looking at this 1968 with 861 movement on 145.022-68 ST
    The bezel was swapped but the original was kept (placed on top) , hands have been swapped but also comes with the original hands.

    What is the general opinion?

    Impossible to give an opinion on the case from those pictures but the dial is washed of the lume and as a result appears cold and charmless.

    Bezel is also average.

    Ok as a daily wearer but as a single Speedmaster in a collection? I'd keep looking.

    Agreed 100%
    I'd only add that the hour counter doesn't reset to 0, so it may need a service...
