FS: Tropical vintage Speedmaster 145.002-69

Dear All,

Still in the midst of consolidating my collection and hence the following watch looks for a new wrist.

Vintage Omega Speedmaster Professional ref. 145.002 – 69 with a beautiful chocolate or tropical dial.

As to the condition of the watch: Movement is in very good nick (although, I did not manage to open the dust cover) and has been serviced by my watchmaker around 8 months ago. Keeps excellent time and the chrono resets to zero as it should.
The watch has been fitted with a new original Omega crystal around 4 months ago and hence it is still in good condition.
Chrono and hour and minutes hand seems to be original, the hands of the subregisters have obvisouly been replaced in the past (not by my though). The case has some nicks, scratches and showing its age. The watch comes however unpolished.
Bezel faded to a nicely faint blue color, which matches perfectly with the chocolate dial. It has however some nicks and scratches as well. As for the dial – please refer to the pictures (some taken with flash, while the others without).
Caseback has some scratches as well, but the engraving is still clearly visible. Watch will come with a slightly worn (2-3 times) new 1171/1 Omega ss bracelet. Bracelet has been sized, but should fit any average joe. I will include an Omega service pouch as well. The pictured 105.003 only serves for comparison and is not included in this sale! Neither is the Omega box.

Pricewise I am looking for USD 3’200 (plus s+i), by bank wire. I am happy to entertain reasonable offer – lowballers will however be politely ignored.

Plenty of references available. Watch and I are located in Switzerland.

Now to the pictures:
