FS: OMEGA SPEEDMASTER REF. 145.022-69 "STRAIGHT WRITING"

Hi guys,
After almost two years I have decided to sell this extremely good Omega Speedmaster ref. 145.022-69 "straight writing" from my personal collection.
I think most of us are familiar with this reference.
If not: http://speedmaster101.com/145-022-straight-writing/

Not only is this a pretty rare reference but finding one in this 100% untouched condition will be very hard.
Watch is also 100% original, so all the parts are the original.

Case is completely untouched, so never been polished and extremely sharp.
Not only untouched but also in a very good condition.
The case back with the correct engravings still with most of the black paint. Two small nicks in the case-back.

Dial is absolutely perfect, nothing more to say.
Dial and hands have all their original tritium. Minute hand has lost a little part of that original tritium as is often the case with these completely untouched Speedmasters.
The good thing is that it is stable over the last 2 years and that it's the ultimate proof the hands are the original and have never been relumed.
Lume color has that very light creamy color. Pictures don't do that dial justice, believe me.
To make things absolutely clear, this is not a washed dial. The hour markers still have all the original tritium.

DNN bezel in mint condition and correct for this reference.

Mechanically the watch is working 100% perfect.
Completely serviced by my watchmaker a year ago.
I give a 12 month guarantee on that movement. But the watch will be problem free for many years.
Have a look at my pictures to see how clean the movement is.

Model: Omega Speedmaster Professional ref. 145.022-69 "straight writing"
Serial number: 32851534
Movement: Calibre 861

I am offering the watch with or without a very valuable 1039 bracelet with 516 end links. Bracelet is in mint condition.
In case you would prefer taking the watch without the bracelet I will include a very nice and matching dark grey Bulangandsons suède strap with it ( value 109 euros ).

Price: "head only": 5400 euros ( including a fully insured FedEx shipping and a Bulangandsons strap )
optional: + 1039/516 bracelet: +1250 euros

Payment: bank transfer or Paypal ( +4% to cover my fees )

( as always I give a full refund in case of any problem or if the watch would not be as described )

Best regards,
Bernard
