Speedmaster 145.022-69: General thoughts & Question on Crown

Hi everyone,


I'd like to share with the community my Omega Speedmaster 145.022-69, which I acquired a few years ago. It comes with its Extract from the Archives.


I'm currently wearing it on the modern flat-link bracelet from the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary edition, which I think fits the vintage vibe perfectly. I also have what I believe to be its original 1171 bracelet with 633 end links kept separately.


Overall, I think the condition is quite solid:

• The caseback engraving is still well defined and not heavily polished down.
• The Hesalite crystal features the period-correct vintage logo, so it doesn't appear to be a modern service replacement.

My main question is about the crown and pushers:


According to Moonwatch Only, the correct crown for a 145.022-69 should be a Type A3 (24 teeth). I'm struggling to tell whether my crown and pushers are period-correct or later service replacements.


I'd greatly appreciate any insights on the crown/pushers, as well as any general feedback on the watch itself.


Thanks in advance for your input!
