·Hello everyone,
I'm new here and would love to share a piece that has been in my family since new.
This is my father's Omega Speedmaster Professional, reference ST 105.012, serial number 24,066,903, (1965-1966?).
It was purchased new by my father for 78.000 Italian Lire - the original Omega price tag is still attached, ou can see it in the pics
The watch has had a single owner from new (my father, now passed), has never been polished, and retains all original patina.
The retrieved set includes:
- Red Omega box with chrome trim
- Price tag (78,000 Lire) with red thread
- "Cassa Omega in Acciaio - Sigillo d'Origine" seal
- Flat link bracelet with Omega deployant clasp, end links stamped 516
The movement should be Calibre 321. The watch is running.
The watch has not been serviced in decades and I would like to have it treated by a specialist. Before having it serviced, I did some research online and with the help of AI tools, which suggested that a piece like this should be authenticated and appraised before any service work is carried out. I would welcome any advice from the community on the correct approach. Shoud I handle with "this much" care? (I have not opened the caseback as I am not an expert and did not want to risk any damage...)
I would love to hear your thoughts on the set, and any observations on originality are most welcome.
Thank you!
