Come across a beautiful 105.012-64, too good to be true...

ortope

Does the watch come with an "Abstract of the Archives"?
This would be for me the "conditio sine qua non" to buy it or not.
If the movement wouldn't be right one for a 105.012-64, I would stay away.
Note: To find the right band with the right end links from the right year, will also be a hard nut nowadays.

The bezel and the dial look ok for me....

Do you think you could get more pictures?
Showing the dial and and case from different angles?

and is it possible for you to see it in person before you decide?

I concern mostly on the lume. As I shared, I never seen a watch of this age with no blackened lume on it.

Davidt

This is entirely untrue. It’s not easy or common but 60’s Omegas with untainted lume certainly do appear. The lack of black marks may warrant further investigation but in itself is not an indicator of a relume.

Yes, I can view the watch in person. But the seller is asking $11600 for now, don't know whether it worth a F2F meet up...

Do try and get more pictures??

hansaboy

And also on the movement?
And ask for the serial nr?
Have you checked the sellers references??

cqing

Offered $10000, did I offer too much?

hansaboy

iI could be high, low or correct?😉
You need to see the movement and try to get the serial nr.
When you are dealing with this level of money, its not time to gamble...
And the seller - is he a dealer or a private person?

cqing

No Abstract of the Archives. I definitely have to check the movement before I buy it.
As for the band, yes, it will be a hard nut. but i wouldn't mind to wear it with a Forstner band. I used to have one, it was very well made.

Davidt

Do you have any more questions about the watch? Seems you now just need to decide whether you want it and if so, how much you’re willing to offer.

Does it look like a relume? I'm wondering how many of u would like to take this watch for $10000...
