·Replaced crown, hands looks in much better condition than the dial lume. Likely later.

·Far from being a NOS example and without more photos it all comes down to one thing… PRICE

·Very strange, we barely see the double bevel... Extreme polishing could erase the double bevel? Or extreme Photoshop?...

·I know that dealer and he has some very sketchy items. It is listed as sold so guess you bought it already? Also, that case back...
ETA - another one of this dealer's items - https://omegaforums.net/threads/mint-chocolate-chip-clapton.136418/

·Service crown, no facet on the case, but at this price, difficult to expect more.
What about the serial of the movement? Extract?

·I understand it may not be in the best condition. I’m not in the position to spend more than that. Does it worth that $9k though?

·$9k is okayish but still rather high IMO. That said since the Speedmaster market is a little soft right now you might be able to knock it down closer to $8k with some negotiation.

·9K can take you pretty far and I would rather spend 9K on a later reference in better condition then on an Ed White with issues.
Also, don't think you should buy any watch without seeing pictures of the movement and knowing seriel number. Also, with an Ed White you should be getting an extract.

·Pardon the tangent, why an extract for an Ed White? Security that it is not a franken/marriage?
It helps on the franken front but there is limited value in one as it really only tells you if the movement in the watch was in the same reference when it left the factory. Checking seriel number itself can also help since you can know if it is the right time period for the watch, etc. However, given that extracts are fairly easy to get and not that expensive if I am spending 10k on a watch I would want one since a watch that can't get an extract will likely be much harder to sell and I think takes an immediate hit in value.

·Regarding polishing:
At first glance with only the first picture available I thougt to myself: that case looks nice:
Comparing it with the exeamples on SM101
the lugs look well defined IMO
After seeing the caseback with the missing double step I thought - this doesn't fit, the caseback looks worse than the case
Or is the case also polished to death and I can't see it?
What do you think?
