Hi all, this is my first sales listing here on CWC,
Up for sale is my Speedmaster 145.022-69 SW Apollo XI with extract (delivered to Japan, dated May 19th, 1971).
This is the rare Apollo XI straight writing caseback (~500 made; some collectors say ~50 out there).
Will come fitted on a custom brown Horween shell cordovan strap (will fit up to 6.5 inches) with period vintage Omega (MG) buckle.
Extract will be digital for now as I have not received the physical copy yet; I will gladly mail it out when it arrives, however. Apologies for the poor movement shots, as I am using the photos the last seller provided me.
The good:
-nice attractive dial with yellow luminous material intact.
-case sharp with straight facets, maintaining brushed sides and lugs; unpolished caseback
-handset in good condition
-original 70's crown and crystal
-clean, original movement that runs and sets well (+-8 seconds a day); last seller states it was serviced in 2018.
-bezel has faded to a blue-grey ghost tone (may be a 'bad' to some!)
-extract
The bad:
-I had replaced the minute and hour subdial counters (correct and NOS) as they were damaged during a hand reset (I will include the original hands)
-some damage on the chronohand (note the horizontal lines just above the base).
-small splotch by the 11 o clock marker
-some pitting between the lugs
-very minor pitting on bottom right corner of dial where it meets the tension ring
-case back has a few opening marks
I think given the above, this piece sits above a 'good' but below 'very good' on the Speedmaster101 price chart.
$9350CAD via PayPal Friends including fully insured shipping.
The watch and I are located in Surrey, B.C. and am open to F2F meet ups.
Trades will be considered (90's Rolex Submariner anyone?
).
