Hi Guys!

I was looking around for a 145.022 with tropical dial and i found the watch that you can see in the photograph.
The seller reports being an 78 model but as far as i know, the 145.022 turn tropical only for the 69 model.

I noticed that the patina on the hands does not match the patina on the hour marks on the dial.

Am i wrong? Am i right? Is the deal of a lifetime? Is this a Frankenstein?

I'm quite new to the Speedy and i might say something stupid.

Don't insult me

 

you would need to see the serial

 

The watch is a franken - dial likely from a 1969, hands from a 321, case and movement from a -78. It's not a deal at 10K US +

 

This watch has a stepped dial so it's a '69 or '71............

 

I see you know more about the watch. The Chrono hand is from a 321 for sure but what about the case? How do you know about movement and case? Where is it for sale?

 

Those parts didn't all start together. You need a caseback and movement shot to determine if there's a single incorrect piece or a complete put together

 

Here we go.

 

you need to be able to read the serial as others have said lots of mismatched parts

Thanks! It's awful..............

 

I see a delrin brake and a lot of copper colour. If he sells you the dial for 2k or the watch for 4k, go for it.

 

Still can't read the serial. But I think we've all seen enough to know it's put together from various pieces. The watch has value as parts.

 

..forgot to mention it: I'm so pissed off of these amateur scammers..even more than from the pro's. Good you asked here. Good this place exists.

 

might be my eyes but i think i saw it started 39 mil

 

DELLRIIN and the colour..yepp,somewhere there or beyond. The idiot is trying to sell a gorgeous dial in a totally wrong reference..amateur scammer, as said.

 

First number on the movemente looks like a 439, but i can't see s**t with that resolution.

 

439xx is also beyond 39xx. Now you know all you need.

 

".....its on C24......"

 

8 out of 10 exeptions from the rule are on C24. Always, most from a single seller in the Netherlands, closely followed by whole Italy.

 

Thanks to you all. I thought it was bad but that is even worse than bad
