This is, IMHO, a shocking poor example. Bidding is over $3,000 with 5 days to go. Am I missing something??

Obliterated, Over Polished CB Case
Replacement Hands, Crown
Washed Dial
Incorrect Chrono Hand, Pushers
Only the bezel is nice.

Run away from this one

Yep that's bad. If it doesn't go any higher though the movement, caseback and bezel are a nice investment

 

As SpaceFruit says, VAP.

 

@DLT222, make an offer! Keep your 145.012 caseback for another day!

 

What exactly is a washed dial and how did you detect it?

 

Washed Dial means all the dial lume is removed.

 

Oh, and you forgot wrong pushers also.

 

And with it, most of the character of the dial..

 

I think I mentioned that too

 

It's not the worst, but it's close.

 

Oops, my bad!!

 

Over Polished and many wrong parts....

 

I don't think I would want to wear that watch, even if it was only $3,000 or whatever it will end up going for.

In the price range this will sell for, I'd rather wear a correct, good condition 145.022-69 or early 70s 145.022

 

I'm estimating > 4.000 US$, because too many eBay-buyers are not well informed...

 

I'm not convinced that's a CB mid case.

All the confirmed CB cases I've seen have a larger facet on the underside of the end of the lugs, and a slim side profile.

The OP case looks more like a HF case, possibly with correct pushers and incorrect caseback.

Pics below show what I mean about CB case.

 

Either way HF or CB case, the pushers are too large to be original 105.012 pushers. These are the smaller original size from the front. Ebay watch has larger, later, pushers.

 

which one looks worse OP watch or this one

Wrong if it's a 105 but they're fine for a 145, and the serial is withing range for a 145.

Regardless, I wouldn't touch it because the dial has lost the lume and part of the printing in various places.

 

I think it goes goes for 4850... If it stays under 4 I may be a buyer for a project

 

Hmm, yup the difference in lume is striking. I absolutely love those hands.
