Hi All - newish to the forums. Just wanted to share one of my favorite watches that I just bought. I got it for a steal. Its in better shape than I could have hoped, and its my first vintage speedy. I believe it was serviced 30 or so years ago, because the crown, pushers, and hands were probably changed - but also have some nice age - and the hands are tritium.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for letting me share!

Also, shouldn't this have the DON bezel...I defer to the experts here...
This "should" have a DON bezel - but this bezel is accurate to the late 80s-early90s service that it most likely encountered. Which I kind of like - vs a random swap out.

Just one question: What's a steal? 馃榾
If I include the extract from the archives, and the vintage 633 endlinks - I'm in the hole $3500

Congrats on the watch, and welcome.

BTW, a '69 Speedy is not really considered "UNIQUE WATCHES & COMPLICATIONS" here on OF. 馃榿

depending on serial number this could have been produced with either a DON or a DNN (which it does sound as if you are aware of?).
Do you know the first digits of the serial?
And congrats on a wonderful watch!

Funny thing - Joined nearly two years ago but never realized that there is a "Unique Watches & Compilations" here on the Forum at all 馃槈

That's right - but that condition is stunning. I spent the last day or so looking at early 145.022 online and finding one with much paint left on the bezel is quite the rarity.

(Corrected this - I originally wrote 'dial' when of course I meant 'bezel)
