This might go for a reasonable price. Pre-pro pre-moon Speedmaster 105.003-65. The dial, hands, pushers and crown look correct. The bezel is probably a service replacement (it's not a "dot over 90" bezel). The case back is correct (and seems to be original), but it has a personalized engraving.

Well, personally I don't think it's a wise buy for a newbie (just assuming that you are new to collecting) It could be costly as it states "assume not running"...(321 parts are getting harder to loacate) Also has a few unoriginal parts. But to a collector these will always fetch a premium, as it's scarce.
Well it went for US$4,330 - approx AU$4,600 or GBP2,550
Doesn't seem too long ago that fully vetted pieces in better condition/originality from trusted collectors hung around for sale on forums at very similar prices.
Good luck to the buyer [ I genuinely mean that because I do think that it looks like a pretty honest piece, from what we can see] but I think I'm well and truly priced out of the market now.
I set up a speculative snipe when it was sat at around US$2,076 with an hour to go but was never in the running.
[Even at the price I was willing to go to this would have been the second most expensive watch I'd have ever bought]
Looks like I'll have to be satisfied with my collection as it is.
[Certainly can't grumble. I was lucky with a few buys 2009 to 2012, even in terms of standard prices for those days]
Watch purchases in 2014 - Nil
Watch purchases in 2013 - 1x Bulova US$600
Last Omega purchase - Dec 2012 ( a very lucky BIN).
