In Response To: That's a nice Speedmaster John ()

:
: Hi John,

: That's a fine looking Speedmaster that you have
: there.

: It is called the "Day-Date" version (
: for obvious reasons )

: The Number 54532617 should match the number
: stamped on the movement ( & any papers
: that you may have ) This is the Movement
: Serial number & is unique to this watch.
: Although this info isn't publicly available
: ( only Omega has this info ) this number can
: be used to date your watch.

: Your watch is listed in a 1998 Dealers
: Catalogue that I have.

: The PIC number ( A lot of guys here use this to
: refer to the watch ) is 3321.30.00

: It has an 1151 Automatic movement. I'm not sure
: if the gold parts are plated or solid, but
: the gold is defiantely 18ct Gold.

: The Deutsche Mark list price ( in 1998 ) was
: 4400 DM ( A "normal" Speedy Pro
: cost 3400 DM then )

: I don't know when the watch first came onto the
: market, but it is NOT listed in the 2000
: Dealer Catalogue.

: This basic model is still available today. The
: current model uses a different movement
: number, minor changes have been made to the
: hands & the EXACT model that you show (
: Stainless case / Gold parts / White dial etc
: etc ) is no longer available.

: I hope this helps.

: Steve

That helps a ton. I dug around a bit more and it seems that this watch was purchased during a trip to Europe in 1993.
