路Haha although when they're all stacked together in standardised photos like this, they do start to look a bit same-ish...
Watch out. There ain't no messin 'round in this here thread! 馃榿

路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerPicked this one up last year off Craigslist for $225*. At that price I will gladly wear a Speedmaster 馃榿
*Truth be told the thing needs a service. It runs but stops sometimes.
Many of them do, as people sell them when they need service...

路I happen to like that one that looks like all the others. It鈥檚 the one that stood out for me among all the other watches.

路I got my Mark II racing for the same price!. I bought it in 1973 though.
Got mine from a fellow member...Extract says it is from Dec 1969. Perfect for my Speedmaster Decades Collection.

路The Speedmasters all look the same but those slight variations make them so intriguing .

路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerYour post was the first time I came across this reference. After two days gosh darn it if this watch has not jumped to the top of my list of ambitions.
This is another one where you will want to verify that the serial number matches the reference for the model - there are plenty of modified 35705000's out there with this dial and hand set installed. Not as many as the Mitsukoshi, but still enough that I would not pay sort of premium for one of these without checking first.
Cheers, Al

路... and a genuine Albino has a display caseback with the limited edition number: XXX / 500.
One of the albino casebacks sold here a couple of years ago, which would give you pause for thought:

Given I'd have to sell ALL my watches, and I'd still be short what a genuine Albino costs, it is unlikely I'd fall into a franken trap myself.
I generally am not attracted to modded watches, but if the Albino dial and hand set fit into a regular Sapphire Sandwich it would be something to consider. I wonder, does it?
