The collection has been getting unwieldy, so I've resolved to make some sales in 2021. Since the easiest ones to let go are the duplicates, I'm going to start with a couple of pre-moon 145.022-69 Speedmasters. Here is the first. Not a pristine piece, but fun to wear, with an interesting dial.

When I bought this, it had some incorrect and/or missing parts and I restored it with period-correct crystal, crown, sweep hand and dust-cover. The crystal does have the Omega logo, but it's super hard to see except with a loupe in the right lighting, and I couldn't capture it with a camera. The watch was serviced in 2019 by my watchmaker and it's running well - ready to wear. As always, I am not making any specific representations about future timekeeping. Similarly, I make no claims or guarantees about water-resistance. I'm happy to throw a nice leather strap into the sale, color and style to be discussed.

Here are some observations:

- Consistent with the 2960xxxx serial batch, the dial is an interesting brown color that is particularly noticeable in sunlight, and more subtle in dim indoor lighting. As you can see, the dial shows aging, some lume plots are partial, and there is some paint loss on the hands. The condition can be seen in the photos.

- The DON bezel is unfaded, with some chips and scuffs, but no major dings

- The case shows wear from use, and signs of past polishing.

Lots of photos below, please take a good look to judge condition, and don't hesitate to ask questions by DM. The watch and I are in the US.

My asking price is $5,100 USD (originally $5,700) by PP F&F, bank wire, or other fee-free electronic payment. Shipping included within the US. Other payment methods are fine for established members with fees covered. I'm happy to talk with potential buyers outside the US, but I don't have any way to insure it for full value if shipped internationally, which is the only reason I'm reluctant to make an international sale.

Links to my selling and buying feedback are below, and I'm happy to share personal information by direct message. I can also provide a few additional references to OF members who have not posted feedback threads. If anyone thinks I have made an error or omission in this listing, please send me a direct message, and I will happily make any necessary correction.
