Hi Guys,

After a vintage Speedy, condition not paramount as it will be a daily and not a safe queen. Mostly 145.022’s are in my price range ($3~5K) but I’ve found this ‘67 which may go cheap. Worth a punt or run away?

Bezel is later, serial looks right for the year. Is that a 32 tooth crown? No biggie if so I guess. If the price is right the watch is right.

Isn’t the dial relume? The lume on the dots (among other things) seems weird.
i would buy a better condition younger one than this one. But it’s almost always about the price at the end…

No. Lume on 67s and 68s goes like that.

No, all seems ok. Buy that one, if it is in your price range.
