I'll give it a go, ST 145022 / PIC 3590.50?

How did you guess? I’m not super familiar with speedys.

The hands on yours are in better condition.

It's an '80s 145.022, probably a C.R.S. case.

Yago · Dec 6, 2022

You are both correct.
Pretty impossible to spot cos it’s a transitional watch with the b2 bezel and longs S and R Speedmaster print. So it looks like a 145.022 but is a 3590.50. Box & papers included.
Bernard’s watch is a later 3590.50 with the more modern print and bezel.

I knew that😁, didn't want to steal all your thunder.👍

And that Carrera would look really, really nice as a 2-register

Maybe that's the problem, it's teasing you with two registers.... but just think. If it was two registers it wouldn't have a running seconds and you would never know if it was working

Yes but that's fine with me cause I don't have trust issues 😁

Very interesting, so I'm guessing it's dated 1989 or 1990?

Very nice indeed. Well done sir! Great looking example. Enjoy….

Currently toying with the Cartier De Santos Large, just trying to decide between that and perhaps the Tag x WOS Panda collab

Makes perfect sense to add the must have Speedy on a Tuesday, congrats! I will join you one day soon as it's on my forever list. Sooo confusing for me with all these minor variations, but yours has a special twist. Which makes for a nice niche to have. 👍

Grandson just pulled the trigger on one of these(or similar), often thought about one like this myself.

imagwai · Dec 7, 2022

The Cartier is so different to the WOS Carrera, I guess you just have to decide which one you like the look of best.

I'm afraid I've never liked the Cartier - looks more like jewellery to me so not my style.

Just got a confirmation that the transaction has gone through and the watch has been collected. Now the wait has started to March when I get this in hand. No.10 is here!!!! i was lucky enough to get a NOS for a 20% discount on retail, plus got the 5 years warranty since it got registered from March 2022.
