Vintage
RJW shares his excitement over acquiring a c1969 Pre-Moon Omega Speedmaster, a significant vintage piece, and expresses gratitude to community expert G99 for guidance. This post not only showcases the watch's condition and provenance but also delves into the creative process behind its stunning photography, offering insights into both collecting and watch photography.
Sending it in for a general inspection/tuneup? Nothing wrong with it I hope. Great pictures. Stewart
Hi Stewart, The vendor sent me this information..."The factory red seal was intact when we had our watchmaker open the case to determine the movement calibre". I can only assume the watch hasn't been serviced in over 40 years. It currently gains about 10 seconds per day on my wrist. I figure it's best to have it serviced anyway. Regards, Richard.
Box, papers, and in nice condition... It is difficult to not be happy! Congrats, my friend, and enjoy! Nicolas
... it is always not easy to get a complete set, including paper, box and watch itself, the condition is excellent. got my speedmaster was also partly due to Gragam's influence, he is a great guy companion during the journey of watch collection. congrats, Richard. stefan
Hi Richard It looks great . is this going to be your daily wearer ? or just for special occasions ? Good Hunting Bill Sohne
with box and papers you have a winner, they seem to be a rareity for watches that old and should be locked away in a very safe place. as you're citing me as your advisor i'm very very glad its as good as you expected and very pleased for you. your children and grandchildren will enjoy wearing it on the 100th anniversary of the moon landing. as for the photoshop, you must tell me how you did the moonshot. i have photoshop elements 7. best Graham
