My first vintage Speedmaster
I've been hunting for a Vintage Speedmaster for a while, I really think its a quintessential watch to have for any watch enthusiast.
Finding the right one, however isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I knew I wanted a Cal. 321 but it just has to be a balance between condition and price. There are so many factors in condition as a lot of the straight lugs speedmaster are not as well preserved condition and most of them has a pretty worn bezel.
So just before the end of last year I found this piece here, a 105.003-64 "Ed White" in quite a lovely condition with archive from Omega, stating that this watch was delivered to a US Naval Base. And here it is :
Will it be my only vintage speedmaster? Perhaps not. But if I have to end up with this one, I would still feel very fortunate!

Knowing a little bit about these...
I'd say you got a really good one Wear in good health, Miki BTW: DIBS!
Thank you for your kind word!

Straight lugs...

Awesome piece, and great condition. Congrat's on getting it.
The Speedmaster is legendary, and for good reason. Cheers, John
Condition: awesome! What a beauty! Obviously you knew what you were looking for. And at this point—the right one showing up, and in enviable condition—price takes a back
seat, eh? Congratulations! Even the hands are in great shape! FH
Yes...
I've been going back and forth for a while until I finally found one... Many thanks!
Great pick Sam. That EW looks to be in pristine condition as well...
I am a huge Speedy fan so agree that everyone needs one on their collection (modern or vintage, but both is always my answer 😁).
Like Dad used to say: "If you're going to do anything . . .
. . . do it right." That's an exceptionally well preserved 105.003, Sam. Congrats! Art
Good to see you back! . . .
. . . it's been a while, but us old-timers still remember. Now if only Andrew D and Davo and e8ghtohms would stop by . . . dearly missed, all. As well as others . . .
Thank you.
In the end it is always a question of our dear Time. For a too long ''while' I had to stay away, but for me nothing is forgotten or undesired about our time machines and all us the ageing people. Most of the watches communities house a fishpond of multi-a...
Thank you.. It's a delight...
To hear it from you after all these years! Hope everything is well on your side! Sam
