Took it to the Omega dealer on Thursday.
It was confirmed by them that without a doubt its all original,
The dealer wanted a high amount to replace the crown, pushers and to perform a service, the crown seems fine but I assume its old and maybe the seal is worn, anyways I went and collected it.
I immediately dropped it to my watchmaker who will inspect it and see if the pushers are useable or not. And most likely service the watch.
I forgot to take a picture of the serial on the movement but the case back had ST145022 78 written on it so I assume its from 1978 will double check with the movement serial once its back.
The speedmaster101.com website has been very helpful, I appreciate your help for recommending the site and the information you provided
: Appears to be an honest example. As far as I can tell, this is a
: 145.022 from 71, 74, 76, or even 78. 145.022 being the reference
: on the inside of the case back; the year it was produced will
: follow that ref. number to confirm. In the 70s, those were the
: years that were stamped for this ref. The serial number is
: located on the movement and will also help date this watch. The
: reason I date it from this period is because of the tall
: TACHYMETRE lettering without the accent over the e. This, in
: combination with the domed dial, rather than the earlier
: 321-style stepped dial make me think it is one of the latter. It
: appears that all of the tritium has been cleaned off of the
: plots, but the watch looks to be very clean otherwise.
: If you haven't already, take a look at speedmaster101.com, tons of
: info over there.
