Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
Up for sale is my chocolate/tropical vintage 1969 Omega Speedmaster Professional, caliber 861.
Dial: Chocolate/Tropical dial, which is consistent with other Speedmasters in the 2911XXXX serial range. It can be difficult to tell what a tropical dial looks like without having a watch in hand, so I tried to take pictures in different lighting situations. A few of the pictures are taken inside under incandescent light, those are the ones where my skin is a bit pinker. I also took two dial pics outside on a sunny (but not bright) day, you can see green bushes next to my hand in the pictures with natural light.
Hands: Appear to have been repainted/lumed in the past, the minute hand is missing lume which is flaked onto the crystal. I would recommend having your watchmaker fix the flaking lume.
Case: The case is in nice condition, still sharp but shows dings here and there. There are two small nicks on the bottom of the case at about 8:30, but not noticeable when wearing.
Bezel: Newer DNN bezel in good condition.
Movement: Serial 2911XXXX. The prior owner indicated it was serviced in 2013 (no proof or receipt, but there is a case back marking). The watch keeps time and chronograph functions, but when turning the crown it is harder to wind when compared to my other 861s. I would advise having it looked at or potentially serviced again by your watchmaker before making this a daily wearer.
Sold on the new strap pictured.
Pictures are an important part of the description, please view them carefully and let me know if you need any others.
My asking price is $4,850, payment via bank wire or Chase Quick Pay. I will cover shipping in the CONUS via FedEx with ParcelPro. International shipping will also be FedEx/ParcelPro, but at actual cost to the buyer less $35. I am located in Chicago (USA). Returns within 2 days if not as described/pictured.
I have references on this forum in the “Seller Profiles and Reviews” section which I can provide upon request.
Thank you to OTD for the space!
