Listing started at $3,500 and looks like seller was made an offer they couldn't refuse! Appears to be a 66 CB, albeit with hour counter "chrono creep"

That's a steal for $6k. The facets on the lugs are dreamy.

 

calling @watchknut

 

That's Knuts!

 

How comemthis never happens to me!!!

 

Mismatched pushers?

 

Some fat-body pushers for 105.012 are currently on sale in the Parts section, if needed.

 

Yes, case appears very crisp but what about the rest? Pictures are few and low res.. Dial lume looks milky white, not pleasing yellow, and average at best. Bezel is a don but worn. One pusher is wrong. Crown not shown, nor is the movement or caseback. Reset issues may be fixed by a service but might need hard to locate parts. Bracelet is worthless.

I think it's priced fairly at $6k but certainly has risks.

 

Agreed, priced fairly if pictures "tell the truth", but as stated, pictures are low resolution and lighting may be playing tricks, particularly on dial lume. I would really love to see quality pictures, especially of dial. At $6k, the risks may possibly pay off! If I was in market for a "CB" I might have taken a chance.

 

So...I was in the hunt for the BIN...messaged the seller, had a price of $5k and crickets...I refreshed constantly for 30 minutes.

No shit...multiple times a minute.

Checked an email and WHAM...when I refreshed it was sold!!!

Win some lose some...

 

Been there, done that!

 

I'm happy with the one I have

 

wow...love the creamy lume...

 

This is an original owner CB which spent most of it's life in a drawer...lume has not aged.



Ok, back on topic, will the real winner please post up!!!!

 

Just be aware that CBs have push in pushers not screw in like the rest.

 

I saw it and as I happen to be in the market for a 105.012 or 145.012 I was tempted to pull the trigger. After a minute or so of consideration I passed for the reasons @gemini4 listed. I like the lugs but didn't care for the dial.

I'd rather overpay for one that looks more like the lovely examples from @wwhntr and @watchknut than get a good deal for a tired looking project watch.
