Hi William Excellent video thank you . Can I ask where you got the leather strap from on the watch ? Looks fantastic Thanks

My Bezel has 220, not 200 before 190 MPH. Is there any added value from this error? Only 580 with this error at the end of production in 1970.

More videos please! I’ve got the bug 👍

Thanks for the great content- I had no idea about all the differences. I have just acquired a 145022-76 one owner from my father.How and who do i get a service cleaning from without degrading or compromising the integrity of the watch. My plan is to keep and wear the watch.

Isn’t the “dust cover” actually a faraday cage? Or is it different on the earlier models?

I just wanted to thank you for your library of content. I picked up a 1960s Speedmaster and using your videos knew it was a 105.012 66 HF before I even opened the caseback!.. would love to hear your thoughts on the new second first omega in space released this week. It seems to be the closest to vintage look ever - and not a bad price for someone seeking the vintage look with new build quality… Thanks

I was considering purchasing a vintage Speedmaster and so I've watched many of your excellent videos to try and understand the pros and cons. I now realise that the market is extremely opaque and a great deal of knowledge is required to sort the wheat from the chaff as it were. So I've decided to stick to the more recent models but many thanks for putting these into a public arena, i think that you may have saved me some serious money.

What you decide as to whether it has been relumed?

Appreciate your practical approach. There is always give and take, and the reality is that you may never find the perfect one. Thank you.

You must see tachymeters in your sleep.

Do you like the mark II. I got a few...

As a speedmaster only reviewer, would you ever consider getting a 1998 x-33 or would the digital not interest you in the slightest ? Thank you.

Mine was given to me brand new as a BD gift by my girlfriend at the end of July, 1969 about 10 days after the moon landing. I keep it in a safe and wear it occasionally. It still works well after all these years.

I still have my Speedmaster that was given to me as a BD gift about 10 days after Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon with his Speedmaster. Sometime in the late 80s or early 90s I retuned it to Omega in NYC for a "tune-up". Some of the radioactive paint was flaking off the sweep second-hand. For $300 Omega gave me a new Hazilte crystal that was less prone to scratching. They also replace the sweep second hand with a newer version that didn't flake. Omega replaced the plungers and rubber grommets, or seals. They also gave me a brand new more modern wristband. All for $300. That's more than what the watch cost at the time. They cleaned the inside and returned all the parts in a small paper envelope, except the sweep second hand. They also returned a part of the old bracelet. I don't belive Omega realized at the time that this watch was going to be this iconic. I belive my watch, an .861, was built in about October of 1968 and wasn't sold until July of 1969. My watch still runs perfectly. It has very few scratches and looks almost brand new after I buff the crystal with Polywatch. I wish they would have returned the original sweep secondhand, but I guess they thought it was garbage at the time. Who knew?

Thanks for your honest appraisal... That's the fun in watch collecting... The Gamble..

Are you sure that the hour markers haven't been relumed?

What leather straps do you recommend for a speedmaster? (Also… I want to be you when I grow up)

Although I never particularly liked Omegas nor the Speedmaster I bought a cheap transitional 3570 after watching your videos. Surprisingly, I absolutely adore it. As you say the best way to learn is to buy and wear and compare watches. And I already look out for the next one. Hopeless. 😂😂

If the bracelet is a 7912, does it have a replacement outer clasp? [looks like a 1035/1039 outer clasp?]

Thank you for your excellent video's, I have just bought a transitional 145022-69 watch with an transitional applied logo dial with a early 27mil , can you kindly do a video of your 145022-69 with a transitional dial , thank you

did you overpay? I have no idea.

When you consider that the auction house addon both a buyers premium and a sellers commission. Only the auction house does well.

The completeness of the set makes it exceptional. Thank you for sharing!

Subbed and shared. 😊

William just sent you an email.

William just sent you an email.

I was bidding on 68, and 72, decided to focus on the Seamaster but it went for more than I wanted to pay (didn't like the replaced hands), I probably should have stuck to 68.

Very interesting as always. With Speedmasters, bid and ask is so far apart these days. Chrono prices are ask prices, that's why they are so high. So auctions are the way to go, that's correct. Otherwise it's difficult to take advantage of the slower market. Hope the situation will get better soon.

Another great Omega Speedmaster video. I'm eagerly awaiting your next 105.012 appraisal.

You may have reposted this video yesterday as well

Always a great pleasure seeing your videos and particularly this one.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I always learn a little bit of something each time I watch your channel. I came into a 105.012 Speedy before the pandemic. I recently had it serviced and restored by a specialist; they did amazing work. I would be curious of your opinion if you were open to it. Meanwhile, keep making great content.

What a lovely bit of history. Loved seeing the paperwork.

Thanks for the Video. I think any 105.003 is a good deal. These watches are part of history like no other watch!

Really interesting,thankyou.

Thanks a lot for sharing! Very interesting and informative contents! May I ask where you’d service your speedies? Sending them back to AD or some local watchmaker? Thx

just binge watched your stuff. I am in the market for a 145.022-74 Thanks a lot for all the effort you put in the web site and the video, they are really helpfull

As aways great content..each video increases our knowledge of one of the greatest watches ever. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to create these videos. Much appreciated. Cheers.

always fascinating to listen to you. Will you ever do videos on the 90s and 00s era of speedmasters? That would also be interesting.

Do we need to worry about box and papers?

Love your analysis, always excited to watch your videos!

Those straps are great

Interesting video, thanks!

Looks like a lovely dial indeed; hard to be sure as the lume seems very white in this light. I guess it looks amazing in natural light, right? ;)

Lovely video as always. I guess the value would be around 7-7.500 GBP?

Always look forward to your videos.Thanks!

I just joined your channel and your honest assessments of watch parts as terrible instead of saying they have "lovely patina" is refreshing in the current "watch collecting" climate. Well done.

I’d go for the Ed White …..321

i'd be interested to see you do a review of a speedmaster 3570.50. I don't own one but the bracelet on this one seems to look like the bracelet from the speedmaster reduced which I really prefer to the chunky speedmaster pro bracelets.
