    There are three variants of the soccer timer.145.016 145.019 and 145.020. One and three have white dials.145.019 has your dial but should have a roulette bezel. Thus it should also have a third crown to rotate the bezel. I think the watch in the picture has the case of a 145.016 or 145.020 and the dial of a 145.019. I would say that this is franken watch put together from two different soccer timers. Thus not worth buying if you want an original watch.

    I disagree. I believe all three cases came in either grey or white dials. I believe this dial is correct for 145.016 since there is a bit of space between the outer edge of the subdial and the inner edge of the minute track. The models with the bezels (-019 and -020) usually have slightly different dials where the edge of the subdial reaches the minute track at 3 and 9. Also, the -019 had a few bezels (roulette, regatta, or diver) that can be paired with either a white or grey dial.

    To me this is really priced high for a -016, which usually seem to be priced below the -019 and -020s. The only thing that appears incorrect to me from that single photo, however is the chrono seconds hand, which appears too thin. I would want this example at closer to 2,000GBP, preferably below that.

    It took a bit of looking but there is an image of the 145.016 with a black dial on Google.

    Thanks guys.
    Lovely display in the window with the 145.016 and a gold connie, not sure what else they have.
    Great choice of straps I thought.
    For your viewing enjoyment;

    Lovely watch - appears to be in very good condition.
    Whilst not an expert - it does seem to be a little overpriced.
    However, it's like everything else. If it's the one for you - then price is academic.

    That Connie case looks nice
    Any better pics of that?
    Presume its gold cap or would be a steal at £1380
    If it's in good order, it's not too bad a deal for a gold cap dog-leg pie pan as it is (with a bit of discount of course ;))
