Agree the dial and hands are nice and honest, unfortunately that case has had a buff too far for me and softened all the lovely contrasting polished and brushed edges. Price isn’t too dissimilar to the other one which also had the OG bracelet though (~ £250).
The ‘81 case was pretty good with a bit more wear on the cuff side commensurate with forty years of wear but the twisted lugs were still way more defined than this later one....the problem with buying vintage is the waiting... you could make a bitsa with old and new but there’s a good chance you won’t bond with it.Case on mine for reference, also I don’t know if it’s just the angle of photo but the sub dials on the pre 90s seem to have a nicer scallop to them.

Top tip - contact ejay2.0 and see if he has any Speedmasters to suit your needs. You won’t be disappointed with the watch or the price.

I found this 1991 one, no birth year but like the looks. Price around 3400 euro . @inchpincher better?
@jv i like a new case with a tritium dial if thats possible. Maybe i should just buy new and swap dials. But the old tritium ones looks much better imo.
