Thank you

Straight writing case-back. They were the first "moonwatches" after the landing. The Apollo SW variant is quite rare.

Ha ok, and if I am right, these cases back are only on -69 with DNN.
A lot of attraction on something we won't see, on the contrary of this "poor" 220 bezel. 😁 Definitely no rules in collectors market.

Why the 145 caseback should have come later? Just because it looks super sharp or...?
And agree on the poor pictures, as if some sellers do not give a s**t to what they sell...

ÉDIT: Yes...the rest of the watch, although very nice, has a level of wear that isn't compatible with the sharpness of the caseback

It might also be the opperculum that give this impression. But I did not want to remove it to take the pictures...

Thanks Joris. Nice one you have!
I am not especially focused on -66CB but with its particular facets, it's good to have some strong references to compare with when an offer comes to me.

Thanks 😀

Good luck with the hunt!

I am now awaiting for x2 012-66CB proposals (1 in US, 1 in NL)
I might also go for a 012-65 in pristine condition (inc. 1506) in the US. Budget is a bit higher...😗
