    A lovely example of 145.022-69, recently serviced by Simon Freese.

    We fitted new Omega pushers and crown, and did nothing to the hands and dial which I think are fantastic.

    The above photo is on my studio setup and its really harsh and highlights any flaws. So you can see the dial has very slight blotching which is not obvious in daylight.

    Here are daylight shots:

    Watch is located in Hong Kong

    Why am I selling?
    This is the third watch of six to sell to catch up with my one in one out policy, which I completely ignored until the wife complained about not being able to buy new garden furniture while I have so many watches. She has a point.

    Price £3950

    I think this is an amazing price for this watch. Price does not include shipping from Hong Kong

    What is wrong with it?
    If you are super picky, the dial has some marks that are very hard to see, and don't show in normal wear but you can see them on the studio shots above. I honestly didn't notice them until I did the photos for sale. I have had the watch a long time.

    Notes on my position and ethos
    I am not motivated by profit and so I have no reason to embellish or over describe. I sell my watches to make room for more that I have bought. I have been on eBay since 2002 with 100% feedback. I have bought and sold a few watches on www.OmegaForums.net and you can find my feedback by searching my username. I am the author of Speedmaster101.com and protecting my reputation is more important to me than selling off a watch. I am not a watch dealer, I make my money elsewhere, watches are my pleasure.

    Comes on a new, hand made leather strap.

    Amazing the value when a watch is sold collector to collector without a dealer or auctioneer margin.
