    Hi!
    I'm new to the forum because I understand some people here have very good knowledege about those vintage Omegas. I have an offer for a 105.002.
    Could you please share your opinion on it.

    The sub dial and sweep second hands are incorrect for the model. Dial, Hour and minute hand look good. What is the serial number?

    Looks good despite those little alpha hands. They are for earlier Speedys and I would be interested in buying those and can deliver the correct ones :)

    Early .002''s did come with alpha hands, so they may be original (see http://www.speedmaster101.com/105-002/). Would need to see the movement serial #.
    Hands aside, bezel looks good and correct, dial looks nice and correct. If you can get some more pics including movement, case back and close up of dial it would be helpful.

    Correct, but not on the sub dials. They were phased out on the later 2998's.

    Have you got any history of the watch? The hands and dial look stunning in that pic.

    I'll upload more pics later as soon as I get them. I don't know the serial right now. Will post it also later. But thank you for your comments for now :)

    The hour, minute and sweep second hand do not look original. They don't show much age. The minute hand is a bit short, not reaching the sub minute marks along the periphery. Clearly, the subdial hands aren't original. Wouldn't keep me from buying that watch though. It's rare, and an otherwise good looking watch. Need to see the movement though.

    The photo looks a bit over exposed, which could explain why the hr and min hand lume looks newish. It does match the dial plots, regardless. The minute hand looks okay I think i.e. clearly not one of the much shorter seamaster replacements.

    Agree.

    The length of minute hand is a subject I am looking at. There are obviously shorter ones from seamasters, and then some that nearly reach the minute track, such as this, and then the correct ones that seem to vary, but cover some part of the minute track. By how much seems to vary.

    All this from observation. I have yet no theories.

    Multiple suppliers and slack specs springs to mind.

    I too would say it is a buy if price is reasonable.

    Did you get a picture of the inside the case back, or notice what it said?
