First, i want to salute all members here.I am new member and this is my first post.

I always liked speedmasters,i thing is the most beautifful watch,......almost all models.
In the early 90's ,as a student in Florence,i bought a speadmaster.My father (very good father) send me
the money(i was a pain in the ass) and i became a speedmaster owner.I was really proud of my watch!!
The owner before told me that it was a special one but for me.....i was happy just wearing
a sppedmaster.
Now,few time ago, a friend of mine bought a brand new speedmaster (he collects watches) and
talking about our watches he adviced me to make a search about my watch.
Well,the watch is a Speedmaster Professional A.C.P !!!
I realize,after so many years, that i 've bought a very very rare Speedmaster.

This my story i wanted to share with you and i hope you find it interesting enough

Thanx for your time!!

 

Welcome @Turmeric - you have joined the right place. If you don't provide pictures. of your watch, you will have some very unhappy new friends.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! Please post pictures of your watch as I am sure there are many of us that would love to see it!

 

I will try to do my best

 

Maybe your watch is a 105.012-63? (and not as the title says 105.002-63, as the 105.002 is a "Pre-Pro" Speedmaster, and is a 105.002-62)

 

Sorry for the quallity of the photos, and yes ndgal ,you are right,its 105.012-63.I hope my friends are happy now

 

105.012-63. Wow! Super watch my friend! The reference 105.012-63 is super rare as it as, now add the A.C.P dial on top! Wowzers! Very rare and looks in very nice condition. Congrats!

Are you located in Peru?

 

Keeps perfect time,as a left handed i dont wear it very often.I broke the glass once many years before.After that i wear it in special occations,like weddings,funerals etc

 

Wasn't there a recent thread about a someone whos father had one of these speedmasters??

Way to make an entrance on OmegaForums!

Picture of an ACP Speedy = Mic drop!!

You picked well... Congratulations!!

 

I had to look up ACP. Here are a couple things I found from a 2017 thread:

From @Amadeus: After doing some research I found out these watches were made for the Automovil Club Peruano (hence the ACP signature) in the 60's.

From @oddboy (via MWO): 50 watches produced. Legit ACP watches should be within 20,520,740 and 20,520,839. Fewer than 10 found so far.

 

Did you buy it from the first owner (or someone related to that first owner) or from a store/merchant?

 

What a first post- this is why I spent so much time on OF. I love these stories and where you learn some new stuff about the old vintage watches. I had no idea what A.C.P was.

Thanks OF

 

Wow, thanks for sharing! I had never even heard of these until this thread! Great chance to learn
