FS: Omega Speedmaster 3573 “Sapphire Sandwich”

[basho]

For sale is my lightly worn Omega Speedmaster 3573.50 with bracelet and official Omega alligator bracelet with deployant clasp (18 mm), and all boxes and papers. The watch is 42 mm diameter and has a sapphire crystal on both the front and display back. The strap and clasp were purchased from an Omega boutique in May 2015.

I am the second owner of the watch, which was purchased in 2013. The chronograph functions perfectly with all hands sharply resetting to exactly vertical. The red dot on the case back is still intact at approximately 6:00. The watch is in very good condition with normal swirlies on case that are most evident on the polished portions of the lugs, and several light scratches on the bottom of the lugs from strap changes. The light scratches on the bracelet could be buffed out, but I wear the watch on the strap all the time so I have never felt motivated to try removing these marks. The strap has some light wear and an extra hole to accommodate a 6.5” wrist. The strap is accordingly substantially discounted in the asking price, although it is perfectly useable and will still look great for another couple years. Overall, the watch is in excellent cosmetic and functional shape, estimated 85-90% rating.

Asking $3300 USD shipped via Fedex anywhere in North America. I have many references for watch sales over the past years on WUS, canwatchco, and TZ and am happy to provide transaction references to serious buyers.
