·Just landed last night, from Houston (yes, really 😁). An honest-condition 105.012, which I had all but given up on trying to find at an affordable price. Given that I paid about half of what seems to be the going rate for 105.012s lately - and with all the reports of scams in the past few days - I had a pretty anxious weekend and first half of this week!

·I’ll say.. Wow! Stunning. Well done and congratulations. How did you find that?
Thanks! It’s keeping really good time too.
eBay. I may have bought on the high side, but find another for less in as nice condition.
I get patina. I’m just not a fan of wearing, or spending five figures on a watch with all sorts of visible damage and nasty deterioration.
Beauty, as always, is in the eye of the beholder. We all get to build collections based on our own view and vision.

·We had a vault yard sale @ my work for non-paying customers & I'm a digger, so pulled this out of a box & my BIG BOSS said I could have it for free.

·Looks like we'll have to settle on degrees of stunning, otherwise the term will become meaningless with over use. Some stunning presentations on this thread.

·Looked for an historic endpoint of my small Universal Geneve collection. I thought a tuning fork watch from 1960/70 would be great.
Just found this for a decent price, like the roman numerals, the hands and the interesting case design.
Might need some cosmectics and a new strap, but I think it´s worth...

·Finally found a 321 Speedmaster that worked for me, a 145.012-67 SP in really wonderful condition, so good that I didn’t believe the sellers pictures entirely. A very late 321. Sharp case edges, clean DON bezel, pristine back and very nice 1039 bracelet.
Second owner bought it a decade ago from first, who picked it up after returning from Vietnam, and then put it in a drawer for thirty years.
Hands are tritium (they glow for only a very short period after exposure to bright light) and given the condition of the rest of the watch, I believe are original.
I’m very pleased.

·One of the best 1039 I 've seen so far.
Nice pick up my friend!
Thanks! I was lucky to spot it.
One thing I’ve learned in decades of collecting ‘stuff’: condition, condition, condition. Given that most of the vintage Speedmaster we see are valuable, to one degree or another, it’s easy to lose sight of how important condition is.
its now on an alligator band, to save the 1039, which, while beautiful, seems fragile to me, even compared to the 1171 on my 145-022.74/76.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Miserable sad day ... see pet thread. Tempering factors were the return from service of two of my UG’s with hopeful news on my Choc Polerouter (now in test) and the arrival of this absolutely magnificent salmon Ardarth on a new strap from the Dink. Wife and I will be drinking many toasts to our departed friend.
