As stated, I have a teutonic speedmaster for sale. Reference numbers: 1450040/3450803. Integrated steel case and bracelet. 45mm width with crown, 12.5 mm thickness. Flat crystal. Snap back. $1100 shipped in Canada.
The good: 861 movement, winds, runs, sets, re-sets as it should. It's a speedmaster. For those who care, a favourite of Chuck Maddox.
The bad: previous owner did some sort of bead blast on the case and bracelet. This is not the original finish! No service history/box/papers. I have NOT opened the case and the scuffs on the finish are how it came to me. I suspect that this could be polished easily with a cape cod cloth or similar, but then you would be obligated to complete the polish for every piece of the case and bracelet. Not for the faint of heart, so not me.
At best, funky and fun. At worst, a working 861 that can be used elsewhere. I am not a dealer, just a collector of "shiny" things that may just be "over-priced dreck" to others, and since I am not wearing it would like to move this watch along to someone who will enjoy it.
thanks Canwatchco for listing space, and please let me know if you have questions (or offers...)
(these pics reflect that the finish is more gray than the regular brushed/matte factory finish on "regular" teutonics)
