Ref.376.0822, made around 1987, I've read speculation that maybe around 2000 were made. Fairly uncommon, but not rare. They command a pretty decent price in the higher single digit $k if you can find one.

I think it has the Lemania 5100, I may be mistaken, but thats a highly regarded movement and this model is said to be Chuck Maddox's grail, I may again be mistaken, but anyway, the point is, thats a beauty I am a little concerned about those pushers not being typical pump pushers for the Speedy, do check that out.

I have checked and I am right about the movement and the Chuck Maddox fact...but I was wrong that it should have pump pushers of the regular Speedies..I have seen some pictures online, nothing reliable, just a basic google search, but all of this version have this kind of pushers, so this looks authentic from that standpoint so far atleast, and I stand corrected fantastic and rather coveted version of the highly regarded speedie :)

Umm, that's widely referred to as "The Holy Grail" Speedmaster. To say these are coveted is an understatement. Buy it!
