This is not on eBay but is on yahoo auction japan.
The dial looks damaged but someone might be looking for an Apollo XI Straight Writing.

Another Speedmaster 145.022 Straight Writing with DNN bezel, these have gone very cheaply lately and are one of the best value vintage Speedys left, easy to maintain Cal 861 movement and one of the more special sub-references with that calibre. Doesn’t have the 1039 bracelet and endlinks but imo its a bit of a mediocre bracelet anyway and better on a strap or something.

I'd be very wary of this watch! This the exact watch I thought I was buying but got burned and posted about in this thread.

This mis-matched end link at the 6 o'clock side of the case is what tipped me off. It has the same dings & scratches on the non-crown side of the case.
Thank you so much! I was super interested in this watch

V VWGatorthanks for sharing a jarring reminder of the pitfalls of buying vintage for a new to collector.
Thanks for that, I’ve edited my post removing the link and replacing it with an link to your thread, appreciate you being proactive there!
Excellent example of a 145.022-69 Straight Writing with sharp case, bracelet and great condition going no reserve, these are quite under-appreciated still

True, they are not common. However, there is not a single picture of the dial or case taken at a reasonable distance to ensure that this is not a redial, or that the case finishing wasn’t polished off.
The price is not enough to warrant a gamble.

This one would definitely be the better of the 145.022-69 SW examples currently going, 2 days left and at $4,200
