Hello! I've got a 105.012-65 in front of me and would love to see what you all think of it.
A B2 MK1 and the lume is quite nice. I have personally never seen a 105.012-65 before but I have 2x 145.012-67s in front of me as well.
The 65 dial is very matte finish comparatively. Is this a known trait for this era of dial? I have looked at plenty of pictures but its hard to have any sense of real comparison when it comes to lighting, etc.

ill get some more photography with both the 145.012 and 105.012 in the same frame.

Thank you for your time and replies!

Aside for the relumed chrono hand and later crown it is all good. I was bidding too... Congrats! 😉

Unfortunately, and I bet you caught it on the listing - was the possible blemish on the dial between hour and seconds sub-registers. Listing didn't mention anything, but I just hoped it was some refraction/shadow/photography artifact. Sadly turned out to be what looks like an oil stain. Hoping it's something that maybe one day could be cleaned out by someone with experience in such things.
I was surprised to see it has a very clear A1 crystal on it. I luckily have a spare flat foot crown I can swap in.
