    I wouldn't worry about the scratched crystal so much as I would about the lack of pics of the movement, inside of caseback and even the outside of the caseback. If all those were kosher, sadly, this is actually a modestly priced piece right now.

    In a word yes - if this was polished and modern parts like the bezel were substituted, the value would go down not up.

    At least one dubious end link and I´ll bet the one that looks ok is a trimmed 20mm.

    The picture of the 1035 shows two correct looking end links but this doesn´t match what is actually attached to the watch

    Might be a spare? I just think it looks rough for plus £3k.

    The whole listing is irritating.

    new box with instructions for a modern omega?

    it puts me off the seller - mind you whenever a seller starts to quote or rehash the history of Speedmasters in space, often inaccurately, or carelessly, I get wound up. Because from experience, the ease and integrity of a seller is inversely proportional to the amount of irrelevant information in the listing.

    the watch is $2000-2500 over priced.
