    Good evening

    I am looking for a speedmaster ref 105 012 or a 145.012 cal 861 in good condition with original parts.

    Alternatively, a speedmaster professional from 2011.

    Kind Regards
    Martin

    Two different worlds;)
    The first one can be more difficult to find, but if you have patience, it´s only a matter of time.
    The 2011 Professional is relatively easier to find. Try Kringkily

    I believe the two references you mention first will house a caliber 321, not 861. Good luck with your search, the Speedmaster, vintage or modern, is an iconic watch.

    Thank you for your comment. You may be right. This is a brand new field for me. I have been told that cal 861 is more reliable than 321 because it is much easier to get spare parts if something goes wrong.

    861 is basically the same as the 1861 which is still in production now in 2014 and likely will be for many decades to come. So parts are completely abundant. 321 can be more work.
