A vintage Speedmaster Xmas treat

Look what I found whilst digging around in the wilds of Brisbane yesterday, this classic 1969 Speedmaster with the 861 movement. Incredibly, she is running and keeping excellent time but a little rough around the edges and needs a tidy up as well as new chrono pusher (not to mention ditching the Seiko band) but the movement is remarkably clean. This is the way I like to find them, tool box fresh, a great project piece, a great find
It came from the original owner who had owned it from new and there is great story that goes with it, which I will add at a later date if he is ok with it.
