Good luck finding a bezel, but it looks just fine with that one for now :)

There's a bloody big hole in da watch box now :shock:
Had to trade a few of the 'unloved' :wink: for this old timer.....
Freshly Omega serviced but not unexpectedly, requiring a 'correct' bezel, but, hey........
I won't say what it was in his cabinet for :D

The numbers are a slightly different font, and the 'dot' should be over the '90' as opposed to next to it. It has a standard service replacement one on it, as they fade over time as well as getting knocked about.Originally Posted by Joel M in New Jersey
Nice 105.003 - congrats!
It's not easy to find a correct bezel inlay....
Here is my "Armstrong" Speedy 105.012 from 65.
Incorrect inlay and chrono hand. I think the parts are from an 68/69 145.022.
I've found the chrono hand (but SL) I'm looking to an way to bring patina on it. :wink:
Lovely find Sir!
I have an Ed White too and it's a proper keeper. I too would love to find a good set of creamy hands and a dot over 90 bezel. Not easy to locate!!
Looking good John :thumbup:
You really do have a thing for those speedmasters don't you! :)
All goes back to watching grainy b/w images of the Apollo missions as a kid on the rented :shock: telly I suppose :)
Basically the same watch over a 50 odd year production period, just some subtle (but important) changes along the way. Bit like the Spitfire, the old rattler to start with, right up to the last ones that gave jets a run for their money. The Mini story runs along these lines, think of the old Coopers from the 60's, right up to 2000 before da Geeeermuns got hold of it. Same car really.
Anyway, now for the CK's.......... :wink:
Oh dear......I know how this one ends!Anyway, now for the CK's
Only kidding Simon :wink: I'm not going down that road, not that I could afford to! They're a one way ticket to the loony bin :drunken:Oh dear......I know how this one ends!Anyway, now for the CK's
Seriously, the CK's for me are more to do with motor racing......Monaco's....Silverstone's......Carrera 's :bounce: Autavia's.......Montreal's....
NNNNNNnnnnnoooooooooooo........... :bounce: .
Congratulations John,
:hello1:
I'm seriously green with envy.
Your Speedmaster/Flightmaster collection has really gone ballistic over this past year.
Get a group shot up. You know you want to! :wink:
The Ed White that got away from me supposedly sold for £2,115 last month. But still no feedback :twisted:
Still not over that one
Enjoy playing Spacewalk. 8) 8) 8)
