··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderHere is an interesting one owner watch - I can never be sure they are one owner, but this one has all the indications of it.
Terrible crystal, missing hand, aftermarket bracelet....
Note the non-aligned Omega symbol on the crystal - this alignment is a modern affectation. (That I do myself!)
Bezel looks excellent. The dirt should clean off well, and the 130 indicates all is well in terms of originality as well as a "good" print.
Sometimes the bezels are original, but the print is thick or blurred, perhaps due to wear in the manufacturing tools, but I am making that up. All I know is I like a nice clear print as above.
Sides look great, with no evidence of polish.
Crown is 24 tooth, another indication of little previous work.
Back is also clean:
And movement has no evidence of work:
So all in all very happy with this one, lets see how it comes up.
And yes, the owner sent the missing hand separately.
