Hey guys, could really use some help from one of the Speedy gurus out there on this particular 145.022-74 for sale locally. This is a mirrored post to my thread on WUS; was hoping I could get more from a specialised forum like this one 😀.

There is corrosion or "degradation" on the hands and it's greyed out as it's aged. The other parts look good to me, e.g. square end chrono, DN90 bezel, stamped dial, T Swiss Made T. I'm not sure what to think of the hands, if they're original or not.

Here are some pics:

This one is from 74 to.

Looks really cool for me, like the faded Bezel and the hands are correct in my opinion.😉

Here you can look...

Thanks Jav. I just noticed the corrosion on the case and the movement ring. Should I be deducting value for them?

For me the watch looks ok.😉 Here you can look if you have the correct Bracelet, the Endlinks are definitely wrong.

I see.. I was wondering it didn't look right, but shunned that thought after seeing the "1171" stamped clasp. Perhaps he fitted an original clasp on to an aftermarket bracelet.

More likely that it's a genuine 1171 with the wrong endlinks.
They were factory fitted with 633 endlinks on the speedmaster.
Ofrei should still have them in stock.
