Damn, but those Mark 4.5s really do float my boat.
I had an option on one a few years ago, for just €1600.
Numpty that I am, I didn't bite.
Regretting it now.
Today I got my Mark II Speedy back from my watchmaker. He is an Omega-authorized one and changed one of the buttons (reset button).
It was suddendly stuck using it and he was assuming, it could have been broken or bent.
After the service he said, that it was simply full of dirt and verdigris (correct word?). For his work and the original (new) pusher he took 125 Euro.
This is just to tell so far, a lot of guys are asking here about repair prices and availability of parts etc.
Now I still have the original pusher and my question is: can it be used again, after a good cleaning? As a spare part for me?

Verdigris is a fair approximation. There is a strict definition which you can read about: Verdigris - CAMEO (mfa.org) Copper is a very reactive metal and will form blue and green compounds readily with almost anything organicy.
Your watch looks great BTW. I would clean and keep the old pusher.
