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...]
On offer's is a one-owner 1970 Mark II Speedmaster, purchased from the owner's son after he'd discovered it in a drawer after, he suspects, ~40 years. It's all original *everything*, up to an including spring bars.
The 30M cal 861 runs very well. The chrono operates as it should, though the pushers are mildly sticky, as is the crown; my guess is I was the first person to ever open it, and the gaskets have all disintegrated.
The gray racing dial is immaculate, with all colors still bright and all lume present. The hands are in mostly excellent shape, though the chrono seconds counter has darkened in places (I'm not sure what's caused it). The case has never been polished and has retained its graining and sharp bevels. There's a scratch on the caseback, but the markings are otherwise still deep. The mineral crystal has minor scuffs. The watch comes on its original 1159 bracelet with 154 end-links; the bracelet works well, and the clasp is tight, but one end looks to have had a pliers used on it at some point in the past.
Asking $2200. Happy to provide references, more pictures, answer questions, etc.; also happy to work out shipping and payment method with buyer. Thanks for looking, at to Jeff/CT for the space+community.
