Did anyone see the 67 on HQ Milton's site last night? It was up for less than 12 hours, Asking was about $7600 head only. I was vetting it and now it's sold and now listed in his sold section on a green NATO I believe.
Looked VERY nice.
I am hunting for one and still learning the price points. Where should my budget be for a super nice original head only 145.012?
Thank you!

Hi Russ, check out at speedmaster101.com

Good luck with your search!

 

It was far from perfect be glad you missed it... There shall be more

 

That watch was quite nice, except for the hands. $7600 would be basically a totally-perfect 145.012, with extras like B&P or a bracelet. I'd not pay more than mid-6s for that one though.

 

It just shows you how big a customer base they have and how poor their knowledge of Speedies is.
Poorly described, not correct, not cheap and sold in 24 hours.

 

Assuming this was the watch- http://www.hqmilton.com/watches/1967-omega-speedmaster-145.012-calibre-321-pre-moon1

Considering hands are probably the easiest part of a vintage Speedmaster to find and correct, and everything else looked pretty good on that watch, I don't think it was a bad buy. Expensive, yes, but if the person buying really wanted a 321 Speedmaster and planned on keeping it for a long time (and correcting the hands) I could see it happening.

 

Yep that was the watch. I have a lot to learn

 

Seems like a nice 145.012 with the exception of the hands and the re-lume job. They are asking more since they can with their brand recognition. I'm looking for a 1675 GMT Master and it seems HQ Milton has this "premium" akin to the the Hodinkee bump.

 

Thank you for the reference to that incredible resource!

 

I was thinking to have this for sale with box for 7500. Seems like the prices has raised again...
