FS: Vintage Omega Speedmaster Professional Mark ll 1969

I was directed to this forum by a fellow enthusiast.

The following is the link to the last ad that I placed for this watch on a different forum:

It is now back on the market. This time it is being offered freshly serviced, and with a brand new original crystal. Now you can see how amazingly the dial has aged!

I had the watchmaker remove the movement for servicing, and I sent the watch case out for restoration while I waited for the new crystal and gaskets to arrive. I was promised delivery of the case in 10 days. Alas, when I arrived to pick it up, the restorer said that he hadn't done it yet. That made my day! I was never really keen on doing it anyway as this is a 41 year old watch, and it looks pretty darn good as is!

The crystal gasket that came from Omega was the wrong size and the first attemt at installing scraped off a small amoumt of paint from the crystal edge. This was touched up and is hardly noticeable. I brought the watch to another watchmaker to have it fit for a correct gasket.

Any spots you see on the crstal are lint.

It is now back in my hands. Maybe a few extra scratches for all the effort, but it looks great and runs great.

I am now asking $1350 cdn shipped to any address in Canada. $1250 US plus actual shipping cost to US destinations.

I have many references to offer from many years of buying/selling/trading on other forums.

Cheers!
