sheeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Probably the best 145.012 I've ever seen.

I put it in my watch list yesterday but fully expect it to go stratospheric.

 

It's up there isnt it! It will be interesting to see where it goes.

 

Just a pity about 'the-curse-of-the-145.012's' (darned random blobs of lume that dissappear).
Still...

 

Holy crap...

 

This is my best trop 145.012-67 entree. Have to get better at pics and fingernails.

 

I’m still laughing about the “nice nails”. Gorgeous watch.

 

This watch looks enhanced…

The serial number suggests, the latter half of ‘68

The bracelet indicates, the earlier half of ‘66 ?

I can’t see an OXG import mark, for the States…yet it is a complete set ?

The crystal appears savagely ( over ), scratched…and yet the Bezel is barely marked ?

The Seller evidently knows, what he has…and yet the description is derisory ?

Personally…it all feels like well measured bait

 

In fairness to the seller, the description does not state the set is original. Unfortunately, the description doesn’t say much of anything. Obviously, it’s all about the dial.

To me the pushers are replacements. Probably the crown as well since there is no decent view. Papers are likely blank and authenticate nothing. I agree about the bezel upgrade.

In comparison the example that I posted above, produced in August of 1968, is I believe although I have no proof, original with a 1039 2-68 516 bracelet. Here are more pics.

 

I think I love it !

 

The seller listed a 14755 on Ebay around this time last year.

Again not 100 % perfect, but a killer dial. As @gemini4 said, it's all about the dial i guess..

 

I’m so glad to be able to read through the knowledgeable comments. I’m always learning! Thanks for that!
