    Sorry these are the only pics I have currently. Trying to ID this for a friend. My thought was ST105.003, but the posters on here are 100x more knowledgeable than me.

    To give a little back ground. This was passed down to my friend in 04. He believed his dad purchased it in 1965 or around then. Its basically been sitting in a box for 10 years with my friend having no idea what it was.

    Looks like a 105.003-65 Cal. 321 dubbed the "Ed White Speedy" It would be helpful to see some movement shots and inside case shots to get more information...:) Others should chime in soon.

    Looks like a 105.003 Ed White to me with original dial and bezel and service hands.

    I'd say with a service and a crystal polish that would clean up lovely!

    What a find - looks Ed White 105003, and if never been serviced, likely original tritium hands as well :)

    But will need the case opened etc...

    PS, don't think that's a correct bracelet though...

    Looks like a nice one to me, and should look great after a cleaning & service, and crystal polish/replacement.

    No reason to think the hands are service replacement - Photos often over-expose the hands and make them appear bright white when they are not.

    I am curious that why the vintage bracelet always doesn't fit the lug. Do they suppose to be fitted at the first place?

    not this particular one... don't think this particular bracelet belonged to this watch.

    Wrong BOR bracelet for this model, this is why the lug fitting is loose.
