    Hi,
    I've found a 145.012 for sale and I'd like some advices regarding the watch. It's a 321 movement, the serial number start by 26xxx so the watch has been produced in 1968. The condition is not very nice, bezel is a replacement part and not a DO90, case has been over polished, the 321 movement is in need of a service, the bracelet is a 1039 with 516 end links but it is as tired as the case and finally the hands and the aml dial aren't great either. Watch is sold with original warranty card and invoice dated from 1970. The seller is asking $2000 for the watch, I know it's cheap for a 145.012 but considering the condition of the case, the need of service for the movement and the absence of the correct bezel, would you purchase this watch or just walk out ?

    Not withstanding the bezel and case, it's still a 321 with a great looking dial and hands. I would be a buyer at that price point. Just give it another few minutes and you'll see the forum sharks circling the chum...

    Best of luck to you.

    Seems like a no brainer to me! Bracelet and end links alone would be 1000-1200USD!

    So even battered as hell, with the presence of a 321, the Omega AML dial and the 1039/516, it's a good deal for 2k
    Thanks for the feedbacks guys !

    Is the watch in South America?

    Does $2000 for an $8000 watch seem Too Good To Be True?
