·Hi there Forum.
I've been on here a few years now and thought I had learned a bit but, when it comes to the crunch, I realise I've no confidence in the matter.
I had a meeting earlier and spotted the Speedy on the wrist of the guy I was chatting to. The non pro dial piqued my interest and I asked him all about it.
His dad died last year and he inherited it. He knows his dad bought it around 1969/70 in Glasgow and he has photos of his dad wearing it all the way up until he died.
He knows nothing about it and has no interest in selling whatsoever. I said I'd ask for opinions.
To my untrained eye I think: service bezel, service crown and pushers, totally wrong caseback, wrong bracelet and (possibly) wrong hands. He hasn't opened it up so doesn't know movement.
It's losing about 5 minutes a month so I've advised he gets in touch with Simon Freece for a service.
He still has a few rooms of his dad's place to clear out and hopes to find the box etc but I imagine, from the looks of it, Omega serviced it at some stage and replaced a load of parts.
Any idea on reference etc? Apologies for poor pics but they were snapped under awful light in the meeting room.
