Hello folks,

On a reluctant sale today is my personal Omega Speedmaster. This Speedmaster is powered by a pretty rare decorated movement (based on 861), caliber 863, which is only USED by this model.

This watch has underwent a full movement overhaul by Omega in Bienne, (with original dial and hands unchanged, still spotting the desirable ivory tone tritium lume) in year 2003, and warranty has expired on 2005. Watch keeps time to 8-10 secs a day and waterproofing test has been carried out and no problem even today.

1)Watch dial is at mint, 100% condition,
2)Hesalite crystal at near flawless 99%
3)Sapphire crytal on caseback is flawless mint,
4)Watch case is at 98% with no damage,
5)Bezel has a tiny ding at 6, other than that is perfect, this is the original big fonts "Tachymetre" as compared to the replacement bezel
6)Bracelet is at 98% with fine hairline scratches

This watch model is the discontinued and rarer version of the FIRST generation display back speedmaster, spotting a acrylic hesalite crystal on top and sapphire crystal on its caseback. The movement is a beautiful 863 decorated gold movement as opposed to the rodium finish the newer models now carries (1861 caliber, which the latter pales in comparison). This particular model also has the blank (on one of the sides at the caseback, where the word OMEGA is found) caseback and is the first generation of this model. This is definitely rarer than the later one as this was a mistake made by Omega and they later replace the caseback with the fonts "OMEGA" in. You can read up more on this model on Chuck Maddox's superb website.

Watch comes with everything when bought new, full papers, (with service paper in addition), double original boxes, bracelet, original parts that was replaced during the overhaul etc. Matching case serial number with papers, service papers, movement, unlike some grey market or put together pieces.

This model is also auctioned in Omegamania lot 229 for a whopping price at hammer price SFR 7,800 (+premium at SFR 9,204). However my asking price is fair and I'm asking for a very fair USD 2,800 (OBO). Bank wire is preferred or will take SGD 3,800 paypaled. I will pick on the shipping fees. This piece is a superb example and I believed will appreciate well in its value in years to come as evident in the current trend.
