Long-sought Speedy Pro obtained!
Here is a perfect reason why you see the phrase "Buy the Seller" so often on TRF.
Thanks to an excellent transaction with krlyuzh (Kirill), I am very happy to post a few wrist shots of my new-to-me, birth year Speedmaster Professional 145.022-68 (Cal. 861). I have been searching for one in good mechanical and cosmetic condition for many, many years and I'm very appreciative to Kirill for bringing my search to an end. It has the applied Omega logo, very sharp dial/hands/bezel, all chrono functions work properly, and it has just been tuned up by AC Watchwerks. I have put it on a DaLuca Horween Cordovan Nato Zulu.

Very nice pick up. Nothing better in the world of Speedmasters than a great condition Transitional. Enjoy it.

I'm seriously considering finding a nicely-patinated Rolex 5513 or 1680 for my next watch. Of course, if I keep coming back here I may just find a vintage Omega I like better!
