    For Sale: Omega Speedmaster 145.022-71, Serial 3284xxxx

    FullSizeRender 75.jpg

    Why am I selling?
    Doesn't fit into the collection I'm trying to curate long term.

    Provenance
    Nothing special on this one, just an honest Speedy. Bought from South America, hence the service history is unknown.

    Condition
    General Notes: The watch is overall in good but used condition, worn but not overly so. All the specifics (hands/dial/bezel/crown/pushers/case/movement serial) are period correct for a -71. The watch is running and chronograph functions normally. It winds, sets, and the chronograph functions without any issue. The watch is accurate for regularly daily wear but I don't have a watch timer so can't vouch for the +/- per day. Service is recommended.
    Dial: The C1 step dial is in good shape with no major blemishes and all intact lume with a creamy hue. The dial has some very light spotting that is even throughout. If you click on the picture above you can see this on the high resolution version. There are small marks on the running seconds sub dial and between the hour and minute sub dial but are not distracting.
    Hands: The hands appear original with and have darker lume that is intact on the hour and minute hand (with cracking noted) and missing on the chronograph hand.
    Bezel: The bezel is a B2 "dot close to 70," which is period correct and in good condition that matches the overall aesthetic of the watch - mild wear but appealing. Very minor chipping at the edges but 98% intact.
    Case / Crown / Pushers / Case Back: Case is in good condition, appears unpolished with natural wear to my eye but please look at the pictures and decide for yourself. Crown is correct B2 and pushers appear original with wear consistent with the rest of the watch. Case back appears sharp.

    Accessories:
    NATO strap provided.

    Price is $3750 net to me, by bank wire (plus cost of insured delivery).

    Terms and Payments:
    Payment is by bank wire to my bank in the United States. I will consider other means of payment on a case-by-case basis. Watch will be shipped and insured for the price above via Parcel Pro. It will be declared for the price above if shipping abroad. Watch is currently in Chicago, IL, USA.

    An exchange of ID Documents and a talk on the phone if I don't know you will ensure both of us are happy with who we are. No returns for buyers remorse, only if the watch is not as described and then only within 7 days of purchase from date of delivery.

    Thanks for looking, enjoy the rest of the pictures.
