    Hey again!
    This is sort of a catch-and-release for me; acquired last week, and today a good friend presented an awesome JLC Memovox that I simply cannot (and will not) resist. Hence, some pieces must go to fund this one.
    Owning the Professional version as well, this little brother is first to go.

    So - from my private collection, for sale only at this point - a used Speedmaster Automatic Reduced, ref. 175.0032-1 according tot he inside of the caseback. Powered by the cal. 1143 and having an acrylic crystal, this nice fellow may be a good alternative for those with smaller wrists, measuring only 39 mm diameter.
    Serial dates it to approx. 1998 (56 million).

    As always, I will do my best to describe all flaws and defects in the watch; all who got pieces for me were surprised at how well they presented in reality, compared to my descriptions :)

    Case - Some dings and scratches, please check photos as they are both under LED and natural light.
    Measures 39 mm excluding crown and pushers. Case is otherwise sharp and appears to have never been polished.
    18mm between lug.

    Caseback - Medallion is intact, crisp and nicely shaped. Shows some scratches. Serial is perfectly visible, was blurred for security reasons. Opened the pressed caseback for pictures and was pleasantly surprised to find the original red sealing ring.
    Also, the inner caseback has markings attesting to a previous service!

    Bezel - Shows signs of wear and small dings (can't see them with the naked eye though). Please check photos and judge for yourself, I'd dare say it's in good shape.

    Crown and pushers - properly marked crown, good pusher action with no apparent bending or other malfunction.

    Crystal - original acrylic crystal, properly marked with the Omega logo in the center. Can be polished and has some dings that may remain afterwards; not polished since in my possession.

    Dial - original in good condition. The script is intact; luminous substance still activates briefly.

    Hands - Luminous material still activates. Good condition, can't find any flaws upon visual inspection.

    Movement - Automatic Omega cal. 1143 caliber with nice decorations and signed rotor. 45 jewels, based on ETA 2894 with a DD chronograph module on top. All hands reset properly. Daily variation is unknown, leaving the service decision to the next owner (may benefit from a regulation, but has several service dates written so I imagine it was properly maintained). No paperwork to attest said servicing, only these markings.
    Photos of the movement are provided below, please check them as well.

    Waterproof: NOT guaranteed, under any circumstances.

    Strap/buckle: Generic black nato-style 18mm strap, as pictured in the third picture below.

    Box/Papers: No, this is how I've got it.

    Many successful transactions on OF, one as a buyer and most as a seller (my Longines Chronograph went to Austria, my Blancpain went to France, made several UK buyers happy, accommodated transactions up north etc.).
