What is your initial assessment? What do you think is good, and is there anything you have concerns about? Did you read up at speedmaster101.com?

Are reference, serial number, caseback and guarantee correct and correctly matched?

ILoveMySpeedmaster gives an estimated production date of June 1992 based on the movement serial #.

Omega has a page for that model reference #: https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-speedmaster-moon-watch-st-345-0022-100

This is a reference 3590.50 which is the same as the ST 345.0022.100. They were made from about 1989 through 1996. This is one of the last Speedmaster Professionals with tritium lume for the hour markers and hands. From the perspective of a collector, that's a good thing. Caliber 861 movement with a yellow gilt finish. The watch appears to be in very good shape and the dial, bezel and 1479/812 bracelet/endlinks appear to be correct for the reference. The serial numbers on the movement and the case match. The movement looks to be in good shape too, but you should factor in the cost of a service which will run anywhere from $350-$750. I can't tell whether the case has been polished from the photographs, but it doesn't appear so. What's the asking price? .

WAY, WAY, WAY too much. I paid $3,925 USD for a very good example of the same reference earlier this year. $4,500 tops and that’s pushing it.

x100. Especially for such a new Speedmaster.

Any pics of the other documents? Part of a warranty card isn't much.

OP, fyi watchcharts.com gives an average market value of $4,059 for this reference. Assuming that the watch is in excellent condition (i.e., basically flawless), has just been fully serviced with records, and has the original box and papers, I might go to $4,500, but that would be my absolute top and it would be a hard sell to me at that price.

Guarantee card an irrelevance, especially one hand written. Concentrate on the watch.
