It is a rare prototype.

Thanks for the link Jim, a great read. So there are prototypes to be found!

 

Probably one of the hardest sells on eBay - £1,500 for an 80s gold quartz Omega

I feel somwhat sorry for him...

Was just about to post that one. 2500€ would be strong even if the seller hadn't been using it as a doorstop for the past 50 years.

Ah hahahaaaaa..!!!!

 

I'm going to go ahead and call this optimistic, considering it is listed as being "100% original" and it has a modern replacement bezel and hands:

It's too bad he didn't mention general market trends and conditions or the sentimental value attached to this watch

 

That "100% original" is a bit ambiguous. It is 100% original Omega but not 100% original to the watch. In 2 or 3 years time we might look back and think that was a bargain. If it had a mint DON bezel and original hands how far off the mark would it be?

 

I like that line in the auction when the seller says in bold, "It will be along time to see a nice 1968 Omega Speedmaster professional Pre-moon in this excellent condition." All I have to do is look down at my wrist to see 100% original. If no DON bezel/hands/516/1039 is worth that, then mine has to be worth $13k. (speaking of unrealistic price expectations...) I could trade mine for a silver snoopy straight up?

 

Or you could try this?

Says DON bezel but the dot has been moved! Does that make it a Non DON DON bezel? Tropical dial and a bargain at 9,000 Euros.

 

There is more than a few unrealistic price expectations for Speedmasters on Ebay. Another tropical dial '69 for 10K USD.

With the amount of lume missing from the plots... The dial looks clean, but I have to wonder why.

Maybe I'm missing something.

 

Obviously the crowns are white gold... ;-)

 

Nope, you can ask large money for a bag of scrap.

So keep this in mind gentlemen, always ask for your parts back after a heavy service, once you have a bag full you can sell them.

 

Ugh... just ugh. Let us all say a prayer for this poor "pristine" 145.012-67:
