·[QUOTE="... Luckily they only serviced the movement. He was offered the dial restoration for 850,-€ but he declined it. 👍[/QUOTE]
Thank God they had the good sense to decline the dial restoration. Doesn't happen often with unknowing owners!

·maybe because its not a 145.006/145.016
To me the dial looks more like the Reference 145.029, maybe placed in a different case.
I'm not sure if that is the case (pun intended), going by the super-short length of the hour markers, and in 2 different color/lume too! Happy to be corrected of course.

·Because I try to verify the information I publish in this thread, first. In particular, in the first post that recaps the different references. I hope this thread saved some people the noob tax.
The watch you refer to would qualify for Assemblage if we were talking red wine 😉

·I am curious to know if it's close to mine.
thanks @Eve 👍
it’s actually very cool : your serial is actually only 2 digits away from mine 😲
If you order an extract from Omega archives you will certainly find out it was produced by mid-January 1969 (but for which destination market ?!) - very late for a 145.006 case - and the funky colors concur with what happened with different « special colorful » editions in the 321 Speedmaster family 😉
Well done, great catch 👍

Its very tempting to order an extract to make sure the story of the previous owner checks out. If i decide to order one i will post the result here.

·Lately, I've been looking for a gold 145.006 and after some research, I've concluded, that 145.006 must have old-style logo text.
Many on sale have a newer type. So, are those refinished dials?

The Extract arrived today stating that my watch was produced on the same day as @kov watch. 👍

·Hello from Germany!
I came across an 145.006-66 Cal. 321 with the reverse panda dial in pretty good condition, but with an odd bracelet.
I am very new to these kinds of watches, but what I found out is that the normal bracelet and link combo would be 548 links and a 1116 bracelet.
However my model has 1171 with 633 links attached to it. Does anyone know if 633 and 548 links aver very similar and thus interchangeble, or would attaching the 633 links to the body have required some adjusting? The person I got it from did not have any information about the bracelet...
Some pictures (no macro shots unfornuately) attached.
Would love to hear some thoughts!

·R revpandaI came across an 145.006-66 Cal. 321 with the reverse panda dial in pretty good condition
Hello ! Well, that reverse panda dial is contrasting with with the condition of other parts. The hour and minute hands are wrong and that case has been polished to death... there's no shape anymore, everything is round... I would be worried about that more than the actual end-links to be honest...

·So it has Speedmaster bracelet on. Didn't know these fit. I have 3 and could try on my 145.016, although don't like the bracelet on this reference.
