Looks like they used Bondo® on the dial...

Straight-writing 145.022-69, mislabeled but still more or less fully valued

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-SPEED...968823?hash=item51dde2a3f7:g:CUoAAOSwxCxT67~U

Looks like it needs a cleaning (at least) and one of the end links is a replacement, but could be a nice pickup for someone who really wants one of these.
That's been up for months. Listing says "original dial, hands and crown." I mentioned to them that the crown was incorrect, and they got rude.

Didn't know it's been up that long, it only showed up in my searches a week or two ago.

As for the crown - that version looks correct for the post-321s, no? I'm no expert but have trouble telling the difference between a vintage wide-foot crown, and what I suppose here is a modern replacement.

The listing hasn't been up constantly; it comes and goes.

I think you might be right about the crown; I'll apologize to them.

Hi All
Any thoughts on this one?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141807779731?euid=8740619ff94849e098a6c927158b630d&cp=1
Also, the movement number is: 22825XXX so it's in the ball-park.
Strictly an amateur here but the Swiss Made T's look a little too wide apart.
Also, not sure about the chrono hand, I thought the square base ones came out later.
You'll get answers if you start a separate thread on the subject. This thread, as the title states, is not for inquiries.

Uncommon vintage 861 two tone panda Speedmaster Pro Not in mint condition but definitely in raw / original condition and un-messed-with. Could end up looking quite nice after a sympathetic restoration, and given the bracelet is there and the movement is 861 not a hugely difficult job either.

I think this is the first time I've seen this reference selling no reserve on eBay

Given that it's already at $2600, with six days left, any thoughts where it's headed?

Was $1 when I added it, I really don't know to be honest, that's one of the things that makes it so interesting in that we have no reference price for these.

They're not LE or numbered or anything but there are simply not many of them around, and the ones that are tend to be either missing the bracelet or over worked. This one is raw and original, so it'll give a good benchmark.

Its not going to go crazy or anything these are not super rare or super special but they're cool enough and uncommon enough to be desirable.

Here's the Fratello article on them:

Seller responded to my question about bracelet, fits 7.5", sadly might be a bit out of my range already . . .
