I should be getting a near mint Speedmaster 3570.50 next week. I'm excited. I have always like this watch, but never got around to getting one. I guess with the Apollo XI anniversary last month and I'm reading a great book right now, "Moon Shot", it put me over the edge.

Pics to follow when it arrives.

Congrats on a classic! Bet you're really excited for it to be delivered.

Awesomeness incoming. Prepare yourself congrats.

As promised...The serial # dates it 2005. Looks like it has never been worn (or at least not much).

Bluside · 11 August 2016, 06:36 AM

OK...I just noticed something on my bracelet. There are no numbers stamped on the end links. The underside of the clasp has 1998/849 stamped on it.

I see other pictures that have a three number stamp on the end links. Is this something I should start to be concerned about?

RW16610 · 11 August 2016, 07:11 AM

Great looking watch! It's certainly in excellent condition. I wouldn't be too worried about the end links to be honest. I dont know a whole lot about why some are numbered in that spot while others aren't (or had it removed). If this is a keeper and that really bothers you ultimately you could source some numbered ones, remove the top pin and spring bar and install the replacement parts. In yours shoes though I would enjoy the watch as it is now.

Or put it on a strap. I'm going to own a speedy one day, and the first thing I'll do is put it on a strap. I don't fancy the factory bracelets much, but TEHO.

Thanks for replying. I just had a fleeting thought that it might be an aftermarket bracelet when I saw no numbers. But after more research, I guess some were made like this from Omega.

Old thread, but thanks.

I have since added another one. Going to give the older one to my son.
