Speedmaster 145.022-68 Transitional Excellent

ibis888

These are hard to come by, not much out there of good quality, a rare watch.

If I may ask, did you see the one come and go in January in the private sales section? Great example.

Speedmaster 101 occasionally sells watches on the “Speedmaster 101 sales” Instagram account, may also be worth reaching out to him via PMs.

And if you are willing to pay, here is a fantastic example:

This advert just tells us you are too cheap to pay for something good.
Why not start a new advert “looking for the cheapest transitional about”?

Well, most of the examples I have been presented have issues I couldn't live with. Davidoff example has dial damage near the 6 o clock (also some case reprofiling?)
I don't mind paying above speedmaster101s price chart for excellent-- but I would expect it to be excellent.

I have seen other members examples that I would buy, but of course they won't ever sell. 😉

Edit: Decided to withdraw, as I think all I have achieved here is the frustration of dozens of members.
Thank you all for your time and help.

That was a really nice example - I see it’s sold on the DB website. Is there any chance you recall the asking price (for posterity)?

Ok, the Davidoff one looked fantastic to me, but I have not seen any closeup.
What about this one?

It is my own example, as good as I’ve been able to find.
Original flat foot crown, pushers, crystal. I don’t think it has been polished and seems to have been worn but has original graining where it should be.

Have you sent a PM and made a strong offer? Most collectors have plenty of watches and will sell at the right price.
