Hello,
Does it look like all the parts are the same year and correct for this model?
I am thinking to buy it but my knowledge about vintage watches is poor.
Thanks
Daniele

Respectfully, I think you should aim to address poor knowledge before spending cold hard cash.

read through this thread and all of speedmaster101.com a few times, at least

With these it’s always impossible to give a useful advice without the price.

Judging by the photos I would guess it’s already in the market and with a dealer or auctioneer so it won’t be cheap

it’s correct, but that doesn’t mean it’s attractive to buy. It might be

depends on price

Looks correct with the exception of the bracelet. Which isn’t a deal breaker but worth knowing. It’s hard to say how nice the dial is from the photo. It may be ok/good, but it may be poor. Depends on the condition and colours of the dial body and plots.

As above, the price is a crucial factor.

Thank you very much @Spacefruit and @Davidt for your opinions, you are helpful. You are right, price is important to make a decision, auction starts from €3700. If I understood correctly the market value of this watch should be about €7000 so it is reasonable to offer till €5500 in my opinion. What do you think?

Based on one limited picture of poor quality I’d struggle to value it at €7000. It may be worth that but we don’t know the condition of the dial, or movement. All we know is the case and bezel appear to be good and it has original pushers. The dial may be good or it may be fair at best. The movement is a complete unknown.

Clear, in the description it is written "the winding crown of the watch is detached and the dial has signs of oxidation". Thank you very much Davidt for the time you are spending to help me!

It has underlying movement problems. The hour and minute hand are out of sync....

Great advice here OP. Bidding on such a watch without knowledge and with incomplete information = recipe for disappointment

This is a pretty serious tell. Combined with the fact that we are seeing signs of deeper issues with the movement you should be factoring in the price of a comprehensive service into the purchase price. Much like with cars 'deal' watches can often end up being far more expensive than buying an already sorted example.
