Ok, so I didn’t get anything from Bukowskis auction, instead headed to the west coast of Sweden and got this 105.012-66 and to Helsinki for the El Primero. My first 321 and my first Zenith. Ruined the bank account, and can’t feed the cat for a while, if I had one... But the trigger for me was to see these two in all original condition (except crown on the EP and the Speedmaster maybe having a very light rebrush of the sides?), as you really don’t get them in this condition and configuration easily anymore. The Speedy is in need of service and a visit to the spa. The El Primero is fully serviced and ready to go. And now i found the perfect candidate for my vintage Decimal bezel, maybe next a JB Champion mesh bracelet? Opinions? What do you guys think, worth skipping the auction?
I think only the brushed sides may have been touched up lightly at some time, not the polished or curved surfaces. But it is very faint.
Yes! I know, they are great guys. I just visited there while ago. We also had nice fair here in Turku about a month ago and they had a great collection there also
Congratulations on two very nice watches. Going to Helsinki in the summer, my wife is from Finland, will have to checkout the watch shop you mentioned.
