    Omega Speedmaster Apollo 25th Anniversary Limited Edition No 1104 of 2500

    Reference 145.0062
    Like New in Box, with papers, booklets, patches, card and inner and outer original Omega boxes.

    Complete Set:

    (Outer white box is not shown)

    Provenance
    Bought by me from Japan in 2012. Was in such perfect condition I did not wear it, nor have I serviced it.

    Why am I selling?
    Due to continuing pressure to even up the Watch/House balance, due to some special overspend last year....and this one is going as it is out of my chosen focus - it is a later model and I prefer the pre1978.

    Condition
    As new, unworn by me, I dont think the first owner wore it much, but I cannot know.

    Watch runs keeps time and chronograph functions as it should.

    Watch has not serviced by me and is sold as is.

    Interior of Omega box shows flaking and degradation, and I have wrapped part in clingfilm.

    Movement is in untouched condition.

    Whats wrong with it?

    It is not serviced.
    The inner box has degraded in the leather lining, but is otherwise in good condition and complete.

    SALES TERMS

    I only sell to refocus my collection. I am not motivated by profit and so I have no reason to embellish or over describe. 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.

    Price includes insured delivery in the USA and UK, and will include delivery elsewhere unless you have some expensive needs. I can usually help with delivery.

    Returns are welcome if you don't cost me anything to get it back to me and the watch is in the same condition as it arrived with you.

    I am a private collector who rarely sells. When I do, most of the time my watches sell very quickly, and to the first person that PM's me with the words, "I will buy this watch now at your price".

    In the past several people have been upset because although they are the first to reply, they ask if I can do a better price - meanwhile someone has agreed my price.

    I am not in the slightest bit offended by offers, but remember that they will only make sense if the watch remains unsold after a few days.

    Delivery can usually be facilitated almost anywhere

    Payment
    Payment by Bank Transfer is required for these larger amounts, I propose we both exchange ID copies and speak by phone to feel comfortable. Face to face is always welcome. Paypal is expensive, and leaves the seller vulnerable to chargebacks. If you feel you need this sort of protection from me, I completely understand, but will happily work with you until you do, rather than use paypal.

    Very very nice. I guessing that this is one of the last LE (circa 1994) to have a TT Tritium lume dial and the wonderful patina that comes with it. Also has the B3 DNN bezel which was only used for a 4 year period in the 90's. GLWS
