This watch was sold, and lost by FedEx while in route to the buyer... Parcel Pro insurance fully covered for the loss, but still a bummer that this stellar example is MIA... The full serial of this Omega Speedmaster 105.012-65 is 24.005.332 in case it surfaces somewhere at some point...
What a bummer!! And so sorry for both the seller and the customer, the poor fellow (buyer) must be crying rivers now? First the thrill of searching and finding a lovely watch, then the deal, and finally waiting for arrival!
