If your birth year is 1985 then that won't work. That has a rhodium plated movement which wasn't introduced until the late 1990s (on model 3572.50 if that is what it is). SL lume too which also...
321.10.42.50.02.001. As noted by Gavbaz they were released in 2007 for the 50th Anni of the Speedmaster. Uses the 3313 Auto movement in the Pro case so not a true Moonwatch I guess (those are manual...
Do you mean this kind, they also do a black dial version? My daily wear at present, and I have others which are supposedly more worthy to choose from. Not a popular choice but IMO not a bad one by...

Nice dial. It is a Japanese market Auto using a 7750 variant. Pretty sure it uses Superluminova so 1997 onwards, maybe even early 2000s.
There was no auto chronograph movement available when NASA selected the Speedmaster for use in space so it wasn't a question of manual wind being better: it was all there was until the Zenith El...
20mm on Speedy Pro. 19mm on the the similar non-pro versions with straight lugs and no crown guards such as the CK2998, FOIS, 1957 LE etc.
You should be fine then. Ingress does happen with new watches, I have seem pics of more than one nearly new Speedmaster with a fogged crystal but if it does occur under normal use it should be a...
Well it has 2 pushers plus a non screw down crown so there are 2 extra points of possible entry over a 3 hander. If you avoid pressing the pushers under water you are probably fine, I would also...
Thats the one.
It is all rather easier there. They can be sniffy if your first post is about a watch you got from your 'uncle' with a whats it worth question but otherwise it is pretty friendly. There have been...
I wouldn't go down the road of separating watch and bits myself but I do think Ian got a very strong price for the associated odds and sods. The box and accessories usually fetches £250-350 on ebay...
I treat a lot of what Chuck opined with a big pinch of salt. Firstly his so called grail ain't all that special when viewed objectivley and seems a rather random choice of model to put on a pedestal....
Ironic really since I only bit when you put forward your opinion as 'fact' but there you go. I think we are flogging a dead horse here and I am not sure how the end pieces are relevant really but the...
Well said. To be fair in stating your opinion as fact you are asking others to take note but then so am I. That pedantic point aside, there is of course chance that you are right, after all we are...
Whereas your unsupported supposition is to be implicitly trusted? I don't think it unreasonable to ask you to back you your suggestion with sources or corroboration, that is how academic research...
Uhuh Thanks for that, interesting. How does that support the bracelet thing you suggest? Changing the subject doesn't really help by the way.
Tell you what, find a reliable published source to back your suggested reason for the use of JB Champion rather than fluff and bluster and I will listen without mild scorn. Otherwise it is just your...
The velcro straps were for EVA/suit use only. Have you ever seen one? They are about 3 feet long and are for a very different use to the JB Champion or Omega braclet. It is kind of you to allow me to...
Uhuh, though the bit about the Omega being purchased in that way has recently been convincingly debunked (the Omegas tested were applied for and supplied direct from the central distributor, not a...
Well the trusted sources say that the reason was 'breakabiltiy' and in any case the watch head isn't exactly American in any way and there were home grown options for the whole watch from Hamilton,...
It also says in MWO i.e. the bible that the JB Champ was chosen for it lack of strength vs the Omega original as they would rather the bracelet gave than the astronaut's wrist or suit. Very...
Broad Arrow 321.10.42.50.02.001. Full size Speedmaster case but with 3313 movement:

Yes they would fit but before you get too fixated on the 1450 bracelet, be aware that they routinely fetch £800-900 due to their scarcity and desirability. The 1479 is rather cheaper but not as...
