Vintage Omega Speedmaster Racing on auction - set your bets Gentleman :D

Hey,

since the price is allready on 22K €, I guess this offer is no secret anymore. There is an Vintage Speedmaster Racing for auction on Ebay Germany right now. As rare as these watches are, I thought let us all guess the final price.

My bet is 55K€ 😁

Besides the ugly new bracelet and no movement shot yet, is anything wrong with it?

Nico

really no one else? 😁

Ok, regarding William, 55k would be on the lowest end:

I think the hands are from a MKII Speedmaster (most easily seen in that fat hour hand.) Makes me wonder what else might have been changed…

Fair enough, I just wanted to discuss the watch and make the posting a bit spicy.
Despite the condition these watches are rarely seen. Thanks for your comments so far.

The dial shows a step so probably original and it does have a nice DO90 bezel. The hands are MKII indeed and
so i say no more then 25K .

Well those hands do not match the hands I expect to see on an original Grey racing.

As to the original post. The watch itself could well be a cheap way into ownership as there are some risks

The case is very polished. The hands are wrong, the bracelet is wrong. So we have to ask what else has happened to the watch, perhaps even a dial swap. Also the dial may be disappointing.

That said, this could be an old school private seller with the chance of a genuine grey at a good price. It has the dot over 90 bezel.

EBay is not the best place to sell this, and so that will work against the final price. It’s going to be an interesting transaction to try and complete at the level it is even now. Imagine trying to buy this from the USA - so that is going to knock out a lot of bidders.

In my head I think a very good condion watch is going to sell around $85k. At that level, the dial must be clean, the bezel clean, the case has clear lines, the case back has clean lines, and it has an extract of the archives. The OP watch has none of these, so perhaps the best way to value this is the dial and bezel. But we can’t see the dial.

This needs to be seen to be valued properly, and still there will be a question mark over the originality of the dial without an extract.

Finally, I do own a grey with Omega Service history that looks like this:



The dial and hands were fitted by Omega in Bienne about 20 years ago

Those are also for the Mark II 145.014 , as Yves should know i think,


and the ones @Spacefruit would like to see are these i think. Indeed hard to find.

He is not shipping International according to the add, so that is limiting the buyer pool. Maybe on request only ?
