    Hi ΩF

    For sale comes a wonderful premoon Speedmaster, produced in March 1970 and delivered to the USA.

    More information about the watch itself here : https://www.fratellowatches.com/spe...ter-professional-145-022-buyers-guide-part-1/

    I am uploading high-res photographs, untouched, unbalanced, unedited. If you would like to see anything else, please ask.

    The dial has no damage, the lume has gained a wonderful warm patina on the dial as well as on the hands. Hands obviously tritium. A service Telemeter bezel - reflected in my asking. A nice DON bezel would cost more than the half of the watch value and at least you won't be afraid to ding or lose this one.

    The pushers and crown are original. The case is one of the best cases I've had, it's fat and you can see that it hasn't been messed up with. It has light traces of wear, made by me and previous owners. I've worn this watch a lot, it's been probably one of the watches I've worn most overall.

    Look at how fat those lugs are. I'm almost sure this has never been recut, considering the remaining material and overall case shape.

    Nerds will be happy to see that red wax dot. Yes, it's probably the original wax dot that was misplaced in the angle of the case and did resist over 50 years.

    The caseback is protected with a vinyl sticker and the engravings are crisp.

    Again, look at the flat zones under the lugs - no material has been removed here. I love that case.

    Inside, the caseback obviously has the reference 145.022-69 ST

    The movement is super clean and has been fully serviced by Romain from Atelier d'Horlogerie 13 a couple of weeks ago - I want this to be a worry-free acquisition and I will cover this watch with mechanical warranty till end of 2020. Extract from the Omega Archives included.

    Note : it is a 50yrs old watch and its water resistance wasn't tested and isn't guaranteed.

    I am offering this watch for sale either head only or on a nice original flat links 1039/516 bracelet.

    What you see is what you get.

    Pros :

    - Everything is coherent and original, movement clean / recently serviced and good for a while
    - Mechanical warranty till end of the year 2020
    - Insured shipping included, easy payment options in your local currency
    - CONDITION + patina

    Cons :

    - IMO The major con of the premoon -69s is that they should have a DON bezel. Such a bezel is worth more than a half of the watch value... so if you don't care, or if you have a correct bezel in your parts bin it's not a con.

    I am a private collector and will set the post OHPF after getting the first PM saying "I will buy this watch at your price".

    Terms and conditions :

    5900 CHF / 6100 USD / 5500 EUR / 4700 GBP
    wired directly to my bank account for the watch head only + Extract from the Omega Archives.

    OR

    7300 CHF / 7500 USD / 6800 EUR / 5800 GBP wired directly to my bank account for the watch on 1039/516 + Extract from the Omega Archives.

    I will include fully insured shipping to wherever Fedex can deliver.

    The watch and I are in Switzerland. If you happen to be in Switzerland, face to face always welcome : I value meeting people.

    Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality, unedited and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Feel free to ask for special details or angles you want to see better, prior buying.
