Hello, My father recently gave me his old Speedmaster that he said was bought new in mid 1960's. He wore it everywhere and has a lot of personal history. He sold voice recorders to NASA for the Apollo space program so had a good story of meeting Pete Conrad (prior to his being 3rd man to walk on the moon) sitting at the hotel bar out side NASA Langley after a long day and they got to talking because they had the same watch on. Other than that I don't
know much about it. Maybe a 105.012 or 145.012 from what I've read?? It works well and keeps decent time but not sure when the last service was. I have a few names of vintage Omega service experts but none local to me in the Wash DC area. I would feel more comfortable not having to ship it and wanted to see if anyone in the forum could refer me to an Omega expert that can service
the vintage watches. Also what should and should not be done. I've attached a few pics that show condition.
Thanks for any assistance in

 

Looks like a HF case 105.012. The Ts are narrow spaced and out of line with the Swiss text so I think that makes it a -63 or 64. The pushers and hands are right, the crown has been replaced. I wouldn't do a lot to it, just a basic mechanical service.

 

Really ... any well credentialed watchmaker can do a basic movement service on these. Do you’re homework on the local guys and pick one. Nothing else but movement service.

 

thanks for the comments. I had a bad experience with a local shop that seemed competent so that's why im a little gun shy.
Attached pics of the bracelet. I don' think its original but what I can find out its a #12 with #47 end links.

 

Correct the bracelet is not original to the watch, probably fitted in the early 70’s.

 

Yeah the bracelet is basically an 1175 bracelet. Not original to the watch as it 5 or so years too late but nice nonetheless

 

There are a several threads discussing watch repair in the DC area. Here are a few, and you can search for others.
