Some points to make
Straight lug speedies - 2915, 2998, 105.002 and 105.003; ref. 105.012 and 145.012 which had the cal. 321 and everything following that with the cal. 861 and later versions were twisted lug speedies.
Ref. 2915-3 was identical to ref. 2998-1 and some 2998-2 versions - they had the black base 1000 bezel, domed dial and alpha hands; some had lollipop seconds hand others did not.
As for what to get - I would get the earliest reference you can get with all original parts in the best condition you can find within your budget.
Need you help, guys.
As part of a trade with a Dealer, I had to choose 3 watches... I already made my choice for 2 of them. I now have to make my mind on a third one, which could be a ...Speedmaster. For the moment, I own a SM 300 14755, and another SM 300 from 1964, with the...

You are worse....
Than me my friend..... changing you mind..... I would go the 007 way.... Cheers
Nico, the 2915 is the ultimate to go for, but very pricey
you could go for a 105.003 with straight lugs like the thin bezel sm300 and get a 64 model. i have to disagree with MSN i'm afraid as the 105.012 is the first assymetric cased model with twisted lugs like the big bezel sm300 model. all of these early mode...
I meant the 105.012 and the 145.012 plus everything
after that were twisted lug speedies
Thanks a lot, Guys.
Any pics to share, as to help me a bit? I begin to see things clearer, thanks to YOU ALL. Muchas Gracias. Best, nicolas
Impossible, PP!
I still remember this afternoon....It was the first time in my life I wanted to go out a Watch shop first! Best,
The reason being....
that you had already bought 4 watches my friend, and you had run out of money...lol Cheers
Actually no....
he was delayed by two purists... one was playing with his watches and the other one was hiding/replacing one..... Cheers
CK 2915
or if money is a matter CK2998. But I would go for quality and providence on the watch. I hate bad/knocked watches. BR Hans P.S. Congratulations on your birthday... Or... ;-)
That's a beauty!
Straigth hands, magnificient patina, superb bezel, that's one for me! Thanks for this pic, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Dream Speedy..
Nicolas, Nice to see you joining the ranks of Speedy fans at last. Or maybe I should say owners - after all you've been a fan for a while I think but just not taken the plunge! My dream would be the CK 2915 pictured on page 100 of Omega Sportswatches by J...
still loving my 105.003
Hi Nic, This speedy is still one of my favourites, despite its age (this watch is as 'young' as me!!), I think it still looks cool on me, since I still look cool myself whahahahaha! After reading your post, I had to take some pix of it again on Xmas day! ...
Mech, i'm glad to see...
Mech, i'm glad to see you have the custom display back on it. the 321 deserves to be seen far more than the 861 does. my seamaster 321 is adjusted to 2 positions, something i've never seen on a speedy, but no display back for it sadly. i got your PM, but ...
