I know a few of you from the Tudor / Rolex side and have posted before on my 68 Seamaster 300 Big Triangle. It took a long time coming and one of the missing pieces - for me - was a vintage Speedy. This morning I picked up a 69 298xxxxx, seahorse back, 861, on a 1039 bracelet. I believe it is the Original T SM T Dial with a nice beige patina on the Trit markers. Like my 68 Tudors and SM300, UV LED gives a quick Torch and Fade with the same expected Lime Green. Finctions fine and keeps good time for the few hours in my possession. A little PlastX on the crystal (logo) and here it goes.




So looking for some constructive opinion, if I did good, and if it looks as original as I think it is.

Cheers,

John

 

Looks A-OK to me. Enjoy!

Beautiful watch. The DON bezel is a nice bonus as well.

 

Thanks guys - I think I found a good one at a good price - no complaints!

 

Beautiful congrats

 

Very nice, congrats !

 

I like the chrono hand as well, nice pick up

 

Great example. Congrats.

 

Very nice. Would love to see some pics of the bracelet as well

 

Nice pick up! Post some photos of it with the rest of your collection

 

Looks good! Congrats to the club!

 

Thanks guys - I am liking this more and more as I wear it - will take some shots of the bracelet and a couple family shots this weekend. I won't wear it on the bracelet as it would need more links. As for the rest of the collection, mostly Tudor and one other Omega.

I will add a shot of my favorite new Tudor - 61 Exclamation Dial PCG

 

Love the bezel

 

Both watches are nice....Congrats.

 

It's pretty much perfect for me. Reasonably fat case, too. Congrats!

 

Ha! I am digging this watch. The fact that it gets equal wrist-time with the Tudors says something good with those that know me
