Speedmaster 145.022-68







Dial: This is what attracted me to this watch. The color is very dark and clean. The only mark I can see is near the 5 second indicator on the sub-seconds register, which is difficult to see. Lume seems to be original and intact.

Hands: the tip of the chronograph hand is a bit thicker, indicating a repaint.

Bezel is not original.

Movement was serviced in May, 2023.

Bracelet is an 1175 with 640 EL that appears lightly worn. The bracelet is not original to the watch. It will fit most wrists.

Case appears polished but good condition. This is a correct 145.022-68 case that I replaced for the original case. The original case is included. Why did I replace it? The original was resurfaced, so looks sharp. But it was resurfaced.

$6850 USD Watch is in NW USA. Shipping is included to USA and Canada, with other areas to be discussed.

Please PM with any questions. Thank you to the Forum mods for the opportunity to offer this for sale.

Curious what “resurfaced case” mean?

Curious what “resurfaced case” mean?

Look at the second case. The edges are ground flat and rebrushed or repolished. Sometimes pits are laser welded to add material before being resurfaced.

This is just a layman's definition. This company has more information: http://www.lawatchworks.com/
