Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

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.

FS: Vintage Speedmaster 145.022 '68 transitional - 1039 bracelet

Reference: 145.022 '68 T - Speedmaster

Serial number: 27,324,772

Service history: The watch was fully serviced in March, 2014 by ABC Watchwerks. During the service a new mainspring was installed, and I chose to have a new authentic Omega crystal installed (will send the originals with the watch). Remaining portion of 2-year movement warranty, backed by ABC, is transferable to the new owner.

Dial & hands: Authentic and correct. Stepped dial with applied Omega metal logo is in excellent condition with no visible marks or scratches. Lume on markers is darkened or missing in places as you might expect on a watch of this age. Hands are authentic and correct, darkened with age and matching the patina on the markers.

Case: The case is in simply incredible condition. Appears to have never seen a polish. Will let the pictures speak for themselves. During the service, I had a Priek caseback installed in order to display the lovely caliber 861 movement. The original case back and anti-magnetic covers will be included.

Bezel: Correct and authentic "Dot Over Ninety" bezel in excellent condition, no chips or major scratches.

Bracelet/Strap: Comes with an authentic and correct 1039 strap with 516 end pieces. All the links are visible in the pictures, there are none under the clasp. The watch is currently wearing a lightly-worn Kevlar strap with generic deployant buckle, both of which will be included in the sale.

Box & papers: Authentic wooden Omega presentation box that is not original to the watch. No original papers, but will be accompanied by an authentic & official Omega Extract of the Archives. Also includes an insurance appraisal (you can pay that retail price if you like! ) from ABC Watchwerks.

Price: reduced 6/3 to $4100, and offers are welcomed. Includes overnight shipping fully insured. Payment by bank wire only. U.S. buyers only unless you are well-known here on OF and can provide references.

Returns: Watch sold "as is" with no returns. Please review the pictures carefully as they are an important & integral part of the description.

The watch will remain on sale here through next weekend, after which it will go up for auction. I am glad to answer any questions you may have via PM, email, or live via phone.

Pictures: Taken by iPhone in natural light. Please note that some of the case/bracelet pictures have been filtered to mono-tone, to better display the finish of the case are available here:
