Hello all, I present you my recent acquisition: a Speedmaster Mark IV As you can see the watch has some character (scratches), but to me nothing serious. My findings about the watch, please comment and correct me if I'm wrong: The case and caseback seem to be unpolished. The dial is original and the tritium triangle on 24 hour disc is still present. The tritium on the hands is less faded than on the dial, but they still seem original (not replaced) to me. Both the caseback seal (o-ring) and the o-ring between the inner and outer case are worn out. Where could I buy them? Thanks Andrej
Nice watch! Any watchmaker should be able to install the caseback gasket. I’ve actually never heard of the gasket between the inner and outer case failing. Have you removed the inner case?
Thanks. The inner case pops out without problems. You just need to press from the face side. I intend to change the gaskets by myself that's why I would like to know, where to find suitable gaskets (o-rings). Or at least if someone knows the exact diameter... Otherwise I will order a standard gasket set end try to find a correct one.
Case looks good, but to tell if the case is really unpolished, you need a photo showing the top and bottom lugs head on. The one perspective that is missing from more or less every sales post of a Mark series model
