Bored at home and decided to share 2 of my precious Speedmasters.

Firstly, a watch that took me a long time to find locally. A 145.012-67 Speedmaster. It's original caseback and 1039 bracelet are carefully stored away...

Next up is an unique Speedmaster to me. With Tritium dial but modern 1863 movement. Some friends commented this new movement should not exist in a Tritium dial Speedmaster. But i love the 'Yin-Yang' look anyway. Any thoughts friends?

Finally, a group photo.

I love patina too. 😀

I am not sure what the reference is. Will need to check on the warranty card.

Out of curiosity - the caseback applied to the ‘67
- was it a direct swap with the existing one? Or did it need any additional work to be done to fit it properly to the watch?

My watch maker changed an outer ring so that the absence of the dust cover will not create free play for the movement. Not a simple diy job and cost me some money.

So it is not a franken. Good to hear this. Almost sold it cheap to a friend.

Such a nice watch. I’m close to getting one gotta see how it plays out. It’s nothing special like yours but I will be quite pleased if I end up with it. Thanks for the picks

Thank you. Post some photos when you get it. Every watch will find love from someone. That's what i believe.

Below is what it came with... did some googling and now i honestly think it is another slightly more modern transitional from Omega. This company surely doesn't waste parts. 😀

I most certainly will thanks. I’m working a trade so it’s not a sure thing but a speedy is just the watch I’ve always wanted. It will only be my third omega but I enjoy the hec out of all of them. Although it my third omega I have enough watches where I could wear a different watch everyday for a month. I know many people here have more than that and not all my watches are big ticket but I’m thinking I’m going a little overboard. I pick up some to sell locally but it really just ends up to fund new pieces. It is a lot of fun but things are changing, even two years ago I could find a nice Hamilton at tag sales for 5 bucks and it might be worth a few hundred but it seems everyone is wise to the watch craze now. My wife will pick me up something if she runs across one at a yard sale, she has no clue about watches but she is doing much better than me, and she is very annoyed at my watches she just knows certain names to look for because she here’s me drone on about them. She made two exceptional five dollar scores, no pics though I sold them before I joined this place.
