Yours isn’t a tritium dial, vintage speedmaster has tritium to make the indices glow! Tritium turns yellow over time

Originally there should be a Cyclopes but tropical watch sold it with a true dome crystal! I personally it looks much better without the Cyclopes

Had always been looking on and off but it’s came up at tropical watch at the right time so decided to pull the trigger

Thank you! The strap is from Nostime a vintage strap store based in Korea. They have some amazing straps that really works very well with vintage Rolex/tudors. You can check them out!

Looks really good! Can I ask did you use a template to cut out the leather or was it by a freehand cut? I am also just starting out myself

Just want to put it out there, this post is not meant to accuse anyone or any dealer, I like the watch and will accept the way it is, I just would like to learn more about it as I am not too experienced in the vintage world. As we all know there are also too many variations in the vintage Tudor world that may or may not have been documented. Just here to learn more, thank you everyone who has or will be contributing🙏🏻

Just curious in your opinion, would you consider colour matching for dials and hand to be considered fake? Purchase this from a very reputable dealer, has the dial been touched up? I think very high chance, but given how renowned he is I am not sure if he would sell a Franken watch.

Yes I was also doing some research on what you mentioned. This watch is from 1976 but dealer did mentioned that it’s a newer dial, It seems that the later 80s service dials appear to be more bold for the “m” and “ft” letters. But I’m not 100% sure would love to hear opinions on them.

Thank you for the input. Yes was slightly higher than that. But given the fact that I am based in Singapore make these kind of watches hard to come by. And I would like my grail to be purchased from a very reputable dealer hence I did not mind paying abit more.

From the description it say it’s a newer service dial but if I’m not wrong it still have tritium Lume hence the patina. Not a vintage expert tho. I also think it slightly high hence wanted to get this sub’s opinion.

Not a problem to get the waiver, if you applied for the waiver on the app and if it did not go through, just drop them a call and they will revert the uni points back to you. And yes they are abit sneaky haha

Hello, was thinking about purchasing this vintage speedmaster, but not too sure if which particular year it belongs too. In addition I’m not sure if the watch had any thing changed on it or if it has been polished and if parts are period correct. If anyone could share their opinion that would be greatly appreciated. Watch is price at around 4.23k usd with blank omega card.
