I just found this posted on a local site for sale, the dial is quite messy, is it a bad redial with those markers and the font (maybe distorted), a DON has some paint loss, tear drop chrono hands, a single step caseback.

Not a short pusher so ruled out 105.012-66? Only 2 photos available.

Any chance it could be a nice project watch?😎

The dial is no good IMO. What's the asking price?

Ive not seen a speedy pro dial that bad in quite a while, if the dial was bad enough to require that it makes me wonder what condition the movement is in as moisture is the usual culprit and the 321 has a lot of parts that cost a fortune if corroded.

I will ask later but. Just wonder is it worth the effort to source a correct dial or not 😀

Depends on the price and the reference. Do we even know if it's a 321 or 861? I wouldn't make an assumption just based on the sweep hand.

With all due respect, I would like to give you my opinion.

Why don't you consider it after checking the price, pictures of the inside of the back cover, movement, serial number and working condition?
If the price of the watch is low and the only additional cost is the dial, I find it a fun project.


I find the numerals on the subdials uncomfortable (do they just look distorted through the windshield?).

Very bad redial. I have asked the serial and it came from a seamaster for sure. Range 1.4mil.

So i pass, the value is from a bezel, case, pusher, crown with a case back 145.012-67.

Not worth it

Dial is 🤮

The other parts could be worth 2000-3000€ IMO.

Seem like the supply for good condition vintage speedmasters has dried up fast.

We have not seen any good ones in public for a quite a while except the ones changing hand privately. 😵‍💫
