·I can’t see any other pictures in the thread, for continuity, just add them to a new post, don’t amend an old one as it ruins the flow of the discussion.
You really will get more out of this if you post your own opinions along with the pictures. Even if you’re not experienced, communicating what you like, what you don’t like and what concerns you shows willing and encourages other comments.

··Burt Macklin, FBIM mjvomaI already put the photos . I think is ok , but i'd like your opinion. Thanks
What are your observations of this piece? Can you spot any service parts? What do you think about the case? This is some of what we are looking for when asking for your opinions. Sharing your insights, even if they are wrong, is what helps you to learn and know what to look for. That will encourage conversation vs just asking for opinions without any input for you.

I’ve written two or three times now that it’s good practice for you to add your own opinions to get the conversation going, regardless of how experienced you are.
I’ll add my opinion once you’ve added yours.

·Feels like he is toying with the forum. Just posting watch after watch and asking for evaluations.

·I would like to thank everyone who, in one way or another, helped me to better understand the various stages and models of the Speedmaster.
The various sources they gave me to research have now allowed me to be better informed about the specificities of the model over the years.
I am aware that knowledge of this model comes from several years of research, reading and exchanging impressions in places like this, and that is also what I learned.
I apologize to all members if I offended you in any way, as I entered this forum, in a way, with a wrong idea of its philosophy.
Regarding the watch in the last photos published,
based on the research I did on the 145022-71 specifically, I will proceed with the purchase as I consider that the watch is generally in good condition.
As for the case, dial and hands appear to be original or at least from the model in question.
As for the glass and the bezel, despite being in good condition, I have doubts that they are.
The negotiated price was €5000, but I have the additional expense of the steel bracelet ref.1171/633 which costs approximately €600.
Thank you once again for your help.

·This is an average/running example from what I can see from those pictures.
The hands are wrong.
The crystal is wrong.
The bezel is average.
The dial appears to have little attraction and has lost much of the lume. Average.
We can’t tell much about the case or bracelet from those pictures.
This should very much be at the lower end of the price scale for a -71. I’d encourage you to add more money and buy a better example of you can afford it.
This is what a $2500 (or less) Speedmaster looks like.
