It's seriously expensive, especially considering it doesn't come on its original bracelet (or even an Omega bracelet, for that matter). The lume on the dial looks like it may have been retouched; most of the Speedmasters I've seen (which to be fair is not as many as some others here) have a more tropical lume color.

It's also poorly photographed, for the most part.

IMO, it is over priced for what it is. Have a look Speedmaster101 which gives an excellent overview of pricing considerations and a table with approximate recent values.

Actually, the seller states that most of the lume has completely fallen off the markers. What you see is pretty much white paint.

Oops, you're right. Missed that. Still, if I'm spending top dollar for a 145.012, I'm probably gonna be looking for a nice tropical lume...
