Well it could be a 66? I received the watch as a gift in late 67 as I recall. I thought the 145012-67 indicated that it was a '67. New to all of this as you can tell. Going to see if I can find someone with a macro lens for their camera to get better pictures.

20M isn't just a bit off its many years off, like 5 or so

So you've had the watch from new? Wow, that's rare to hear. Do you still have the original papers and / or the box? If you're interested in a valuation, these will have an impact. Very good looking Speedmaster, by the way.

Yes I have had this watch since new. Got it as a pre graduation gift from college. I do not, sadly have the box or original papers any longer. In the late 60's and early 70's i wore the watch most of the time. but as the years progressed i have been wearing very infrequently, hence the questions about potential value for a possible sale.

Update for those interested:
Well doing some more checking, I have discovered the following:
This is a so called Pre moon watch since it was before the landing. Based on everything i can remember and find out it is a 1967 or 1968 (145-014-67) This is confirmed by the Dot over 90 and the size and font associated with the "Tachymetre" with a accent mark over the first "e". My source for this conformation information is: www.speedmaster101.com . The bracelet is a 1039 and has what I believe is a date code of 2 68. The watch was serviced in 2011 by Omega. They replaced the crystal, stem button, push buttons, and hands. I have all the replaced parts.
Also confirming that I am the original owner of the watch. Still haven't been able to locate a macro lens to get better pictures of the serial number / movement and the back that does show the scratch. The watch is in good condition for it’s age and does keep time well.

It's a beautiful piece! I am a little bit confused as to whether it has been polished though. It looks like it has, but maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't polished when it was serviced. I might be interested in buying it if you decide to sell (provided you can clear up the serial number issue). Please let me know. Thanks!

Definitely use a decent camera (preferably not a cell phone) to photograph the movement and serial number. It is much easier to magnify that then squint through a loupe. It is surprising how hard it is distinguish the engravings of a 5, 6, 9 and 0 without decent magnification.
