I have now found a 145.012-67 on eBay that I am interested in. I have been getting way better in detecting wrong parts but I don't trust my self completely and definitely not in how to value things since I haven't followed to market long enough. Ask me about Stockholm city housing prices instead and I can tell you the prices.

Anyway back to the watch. The watch has been serviced last year and the box, bracelet and leather strap is included.

Asking price is €7900

Here is the Pro/Con how I see it:

Pros:
+ Correct parts as far as I can see
+ With box and bracelet (Correct box and bracelet?)
+ Recently serviced
+ Within EU
+ I think the appearance is compelling. Not to damaged but still signs of usage

Cons:
- Looks polished in some angles (I am quite bad at seeing these kind of things still)
- The condition of the dial is questionable for the price
- Some pictures are glossy so hard to determine everything

Thanks in advance!

 

Ooh that case is bad. I couldn't live with that.

The dial is correct but decidedly average.

Bracelet is more modern.

 

Eh! Case is over polished. Bezel is DON but a bit rough. Hands look good. Dial is not nice. Most of the lume is gone and what's left has the dirty patina. It is a stepped dial. I don't believe that bracelet is original to the watch. I don't place much value on the box. You can always get an old one on ebay.

 

Just wait and buy one from an OF member. Any great eBay example you bring on here will most likely be bid on by members.

 

Great advice from everyone here Jackee! These guys are lovely and know their stuff. [emoji106]

 

Isn't that a period correct 1116 bracelet?

Watch looks pretty awful by the way.

 

Thanks again for all your input! I really need to be better in determine how a good case should look like. I have a really hard time to see what makes a good case from a bad one. The MWO book is on it's way so I will do some studying when it arrives and hopefully it will help me.

Regarding the bracelet. According to this thread it should be the correct one:

@Jackee view this thread for an unpolished example...

Much too polished, wait for a better example.

 

7200usd would be in the high side for this piece. It's correct but not particularly attractive. Dial, hands, case and bezel are unattractive to me.
