This 105.012 is for sale for EUR 3500... (not by me)
case looks heavily polished ...
Movement not clean though stated as working properly.
I yet have to get the movement number.


thanks for your comments.

The bezel on it is probably worth almost half the asking price by itself

the bezel is not quite as nice, but the dial gets me though it could be a relume...

Dial is nice and looks like to be an early one with higher Ts.
Not sure if this is possible with a 66
No lug facets which is a big downside for me

😉

im only concerned on the supposed faceted lugs w/c might have been heavily buffed to smoothen the edges. otherwise, the engine just needs a little tlc.

Beside the ridiculous asking price...read the ad, he might be German but his German is so limited..Buy the seller.

You can still get great deals on Kleinanzeigen. This one is seems to be a scam thou.
Not everything offered under marked value on there is a scam. Bought my 145.022-69 for 1500€ on Kleinanzeigen last year.

Contacted the seller as soon as I saw the listing this morning, offered a trade, no response. This clears up why obviously.

Cheers,

Max

Nope, and I also kept my hands off of the 105.003 with the wrong dial (professional AML) that was offered for 2.8k there 2 days ago... even thou that one seemed to be legid.

Edit: I generally buy nothing on Kleinanzeigen if the seller refuses a F2F. I don't mind traveling several hundred KM for a good deal, that's part of the fun for me. If a seller refuses a f2f it's a 99% indicator for me that there is something fishy going on.
