A friend had this on last night. Apologies for the blurry photo - I had had a few by this point.
He said it was from 1990 and was really proud of it, but following this recent chat and having never seen a speedmaster like it, I was skeptical. Anyway tried it on and it felt really nice, maybe 39mm ish. Chrono worked perfectly and it all looked lovely

This actually may be the crux of the matter. You state ‘you were skeptical’ - what exactly were you thinking at the time?
You thought is might be fake, what did that make you think of the owner?

@TGR I was mildly inebriated! Hard to explain. Didn't expect to see this particular guy having it, but it was a birthday present. And I only thought it might be fake because of salience/reading all the discussions in here recently and it not looking like most speedmasters!
