·It’s hard to tell if the dial has a step. At least on my phone. Can you clearly see it?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Fonts wrong for a step dial. That’s an 80’s dial. No serif DNN also 80’s.
so it’s just a 145.022 from the 80’s as it is presented.

·Caseback notches are too big for a -71.

·Early '90s - either one of the last 145.022s or one of the earlier 3590.50s

·The only thing visible to suggest -71 or before is the pointy subdial hands. -74 and later would have more blunt tips.

·If the bracelet is period correct, puts it at 89-96

·I concur this is not a 145.022-71.
And regardless of the watch ref. it looks totally overpolished.

·I think from early 90s. Dial is from 90s, and I think caseback is from early 90s. Same with bezel. If you have serial, try IloveMySpeedmaster.com and see what it tells you. Serial is on the lug.

·Thank you all. The watch is offered at ebay.de as a 145.022, but the seller doesn't show a picture of the movement. In any case, I won't go for it and wait for a better option.

·You can just make out a serial number on the lug by the "812"

·you must be about 30 years younger than me, I can't make it out. I can't hear very well either. 😀
The 812 on the right side seems a lot more distinct than on the left side.
It's a pity there aren't better photos, as it looks like the side of the watch without the pushers has a nice curve to it, but the side with the pushers seems straight, as if it were over polished...

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...yup 812 end links and you can faintly see a serial on the upper right lug if you look hard.

·? Never heard that one.
edit: now that I'm googling, there seem to be some short-S dials examples with sharp sub hands. More data is probably necessary to have any reasonable confidence in the theory... But to be sure, there two styles of hands, and I have not seen any blunted hands prior to -69. None of this has much bearing on the OP's piece, which very likely looks to be 90's.
