Hello folks,

I bought my 105.003-65 last year from a very famous collector and dealer. It came with a very beautiful dial and the case was described as "looks unpolished". It also got an Extract from the Archives.



Recently, after I read more about the case difference between -64 and -65, I realise that my case should actually be a -64 case! So I purchased a -65 middle case and put my -64 middle case for sale.

The pictures are just to showcase the condition of the middle case. Only the middle case with the pushers is for sale. No crystal, no case back, no crown, no dial, no movement.

Asking price is $2500 or S$3200.

Just curious: did you discuss the issue with the person that sold you the watch?

No, it was one year ago so I don't know if I can still ask for anything.

Again, just curious: is it possible the date of the watch makes it possible that it’s an early ‘65, and therefore that case could be ok?

It was produced in Jan 1968, a very late -65.

Add photos for the middle case only. Some minor nicks at the back outer ring, but there is no damage in thread, the case back can be screw in very smoothly.
