Ok guys, so as you may have noticed I've put three seperate 145022 threads up the last week or so (sorry for spam!). This time i actually found one just an hours or so drive from my hometown, Aarhus. As far as I can tell, everything is original. No b&p, just the watchhead, and no bracelet either. Priced (bargained down to) 4000 eur which I think is fair? The patina isnt a stunner, but i really like it, especially with all lume in place in hands.

Please give me your verdict on the watch and its parts. If everything checks out I'll go collect it one of the coming days.

Thanks in advance!

I think all the parts that can be seen check out. I’m not a fan of the lume colour at all, but if you like it then that’s okay. The case looks very soft (ie. polished) from what I can see. I can’t help thinking that you could find a much nicer one with some patience and a budget of 4000 to 4500 euros or so (but maybe not within an hours drive of your home!)

I agree with @Dan S. Yes it looks correct but it’s not particularly attractive to me.

the case is very average and it looks like it needs a service as there is slight hour hand creep.

With no bracelet and unserviced I’d say that’s more like a €3k watch in a private sale.

To put it another way, no amount of additional money will make that watch more attractive. I’d rather spend extra money (or patience) up front for a better example.

I don't think I commented in this thread, but I agree, retroactively .😉
