It's quite elementary
The chrono should reach the end of the minute track as far as I know. It doesn't
As far as the crown: It should have a "flat foot" crown, with IIRC 24 teeth. Below an example.
The "teeth" on the example crown are much more narrow and fitting for a 32 teeth replacement crown.
For the relume and the polishing I cant comment, and gladly would learn how that can be distinguished from the photo @Monobike posted.
At least it had the correct "fat neck" pusher tubes with probably the correct "wide-short" pushers.
how did you know the cb has a wrong crown and non matching chrono hands. much better if you have a cb and show it here.😁
You are wrong and need to review more. [...]
yours have wrong hands (short) and damaged facets losing the sharpness. the hands are too white,
the patina or at least the color must match the lume of the indices like the cb of the OP.
Unless the 145 was NOS, that caseback came much later. I'm still dumbfounded of the poor quality photos sellers provide of hi value hi ticket watches such as the 105 reference. In today's world of hi res, hi tech cameras and camera phones, I view poor pics of very expensive watches as suspicious. My opinion.
I did. MOONWATCH ONLY 3rd edition. Page 308. If you have some supersecret info or source disproving that please provide it. I stand by my statement regarding the crown until that.
Dude. Seriously? Are you trolling?
I understand that it has a 1039 bracelet and an Omega service, but 9500 Euros for a 145.022-69 with a DNN is absolutely nuts IMO. It's a nice enough watch, but they are just so common. At 7500 Euros it would start to be interesting to me, but that would be the high end, and I can't imagine you will get there with the seller.
I don't like the lume in the sweep hand of the CB, but that's a quibble since the watch is appealing overall IMO. However, based on his posts I am inferring that the OP prefers watches that have a more pristine appearance, even if they are restored with service parts. If so, he should probably pass on both of these watches and keep looking.
So if I understand correctly DON IS the real value of a 145.022, more than a 1039.
That said, having spent with some time on C24 and many WW sellers, I just have not found any nice 145.022 DON, not even at 10k€.
Restored watches do not bother me (curiously, restored cars is not a subject for car fans) but I don't like service parts nor relumed hands/dial.
I totally understand the love for DON bezels, but I also understand rarity. Simple numbers:
How many serial number correct '69s with DON bezels compared to serial number correct '69s with 220 bezels?
We can only repeat this mantra over and over again ... rare does not equal valuable.
It is absolutely NOT true that Speedmaster value simply correlates with age. Consider the Apollo 11 SW as an example. Brown dials are another. There are many subtleties.
