I've never come across a pre moon with a service movement before. No bracelet, I presume its the original dial but the lume isn't so nice. The DON is a good one. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what it is worth?
Why do you say that it's a service movement ? Is it for sale somewhere ? I think that it's very hard to say what's what once/if the movement has been swapped, but I think there's a greater chance that it's a Franken built from spare parts than a 105.012 with a service movement. It's a 145.022-69 movement, a 65 caseback, a 145.022-68 dial... Maybe it was assembled a long time ago, because the perfect DON doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the watch. Anyway, I'd say that the watch's only value is as parts, and mainly in the bezel.
Yes basically I want the bezel! But then I'd be left with all the other parts to sell so I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle. The asking price is $6,500. Does anyone know if they would have had to modify the dial feet to get it to fit the 861 movement?
The feet are per se different for a 861. so as Mailollo already mentioned, it's a 145.022-68 transitional dial in best case. Worst case: it's a "modified" 321 Dial glued to the movement..you never know..
Probably unlikely that it's a 145.022-68 dial I guess, it's quite a rare reference. Any mod of the dial would kill the value which is what I was concerned about.
