    Hi
    I need help with this omega middle case.
    It says it is for 105.012 but it looks a bit strage to me. Can someone of you experts clarify if it is correct for 105.012 hf and for push in pushers?
    Thanks..

    Unless i’m mistaken, all models from 105.012-63 on shared the same case band. There is one example of a 105.012-66 that has a slightly varied lug design, which was manufactured by CB, which this is not.

    Based purely on it being in good condition, my guess would be that this case band is fairly modern. However, from what I know, it would still be “correct” for the 105.012... Perhaps there were different manufacturers for case bands of that era that would determine if the band was truly correct, but if so I’m unaware of which it would be.

    According to Moonwatch Only they all share the same case band BUT actually the 105.012-66 CB does indeed have slightly flattened lugs seen from the back and prior to 66/67 the pushers were push in and not screwed and maybe some 65s too (which is why I wanted a 67, which is cheaper to boot, as I think screw in pushers is a real upgrade). I suspect there are other subtle differences not yet documented. A good start is to measure it to make sure it‘s for the Speedy Pro and not for one of the endless lines of other Speedmasters....

    Thanks for reply. I also think that this is modern one and with screw in pushers, which is not correct for 105.012.
