·Hi Folks thanks for reading my first post.
It's my first foray into vintage omega and hoping to gather your thoughts on the following piece. I hope to be a regular on the board as I continue to grow my knowledge and collection.
So I've come across this 145.012 that's piqued my interest. The bezel and hands are service. But to me the price is suitable to recognise these omissions. So I'm keen to take it further.
From my own non-expert assessment:
1. Case back 1967
2. Serial 2732xxxx dates to 1968 or 1969 depending on site (I recognise 145.012/321 only ran to 1968)
3. Dial looks period correct and nice specimen
4. Bezel could be anything between 70s to mid 90s estimate 80s from condition.
5. Hands look later than bezel from the lume but doesn't bother me (I'll look to replace this along with bezel if the opportunity arises)
6. Bracelet 1039 with 516 end links clasp folds are gen but actual clasp not pictured is non-gen. I'm a strap kind of guy anyway.
Are your thoughts aligned or is there something I'm missing here?
I'm somewhat concerned that the serial is later than case back but I also understand from collecting other vintage brands this can happen. Should I be worried? Could this be a seamaster movement?
The case and pushers/crown do they look ok for a 145.012? I can see the bottom pusher will require adjustment/repair.
Any other feedback appreciated. Thanks!
