Guys and Gals!
It is Friday, and the weekend is soon here, so why not trying an assessment on this Bad Boy?
Dial:
Lots of blemishes, and also oil spots,
and there could be more that is not showing on the few pictures....
It looks very ”dry”
So Really Poor
Lume:
Most of the indices have missing lume.
Poor/Fair
The hands are serviceparts.
Bezel:
A replacement, it should be a DON.
A few dings and scratches, and some flaking.
Good minus
The case:
Lots of craters, scratches and not so appealing.
The pictures are not the best, but I do think that it has had a polish (or maybe an easy watchmakers cloth).
No full pictures of the caseback….the sides are barely visible….
Fair minus
Crown and pushers are serviceparts.
And the crystal is a possible replacement?
The movement:
the serial nr 2655xxxx puts it correct for a 68.
No movement pictures, but serviced a few years ago, so hopefully ok?
Lets put it as a good??
The
verdict??
A Speedy with lots of serviceparts (the original parts are maybe maybe usable…??).
A dial with lumeplots that are not very sexy….and lots of blemishes and spots..
A worn and used case/caseback with lots of dings and scratches.
This one would be a poor plus or maybe a fair minus.
Using our beloved Price Chart (from Speedmaster101
@Spacefruit - once again thanks…!!)
Poor 3300 $ / 3000€
Fair 4000 $ / 3650 €
So maybe 3500 $ / 3200 €
But you also have the: Do You Like The Watchometer!
This one doesn't give any good vibes at all = Very Low!
And a service is upcoming, and if the original parts will be used again (if possible…)?
And a correct bezel…
And a possible relume?
![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png)
This could add up to a large chunk of money!
To be honest, 861 movements are serviceable in Sweden,
but going for a relume and vintageparts could be very challenging!
For reference, here is a lovely 68 that was sold here on the Forum (sold very fast)!
Compare with this one, and also calculate the total cost!

Good luck with your Speedyhunt!
And have a nice weekend OF-gang!!
