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?

Love that speedmaster! Is the decimal bezel an original vintage one?
Yes, and in some lovely condition as well.

Beautiful pair! If that Speedy has had a light refinish it’s been done very well, looks great.

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.

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.

Walking distance from downtown, at Korkeavuorenkatu 3, a nice picturesque shop with great watches.

That Speedmaster is full of win.
I need to take better pictures of it after it’s serviced and cleaned.

Doesn't get much more iconic than a 321 and an el primero! Well done, enjoy them forever.
