Look what I found ... a 145.003 Speedmaster *PIC*


Hi Guys,

Whilst looking through my pile of catalogues for the next to be scanned & posted online, I found a UK Catalogue that I guess to be from 1967 - 1969.

The 145.003 was officially released in 1966 & Armstrong ( without a speedy ) & Aldrin ( with a speedy ) walked on the moon in 1969.

The 145.003 is quite a "rare" speedmaster. Not too many have been found. This is the first time I've seen one mentioned in a Catalogue.

I also find the last sentence in the text on the left of the watch quite funny. :-) Although technically correct, since Aldrin & Armstrong landed on the moon at the same time & possibly both had their speedies on at that time.

Anyway, here's the scan
