Love those dials. Spoken of in low whispers in the back rooms of Speedy fight clubs.

 

Curious looking blob next to 10 hour marker. What is it?

 

A 105.003 manufactured in 1957
What did I miss?

 

That the auction house had a typo. The serial number of 24 million is 1967.

 

I'd love to see that in the sunlight... love those blue dial ones.

 

Well this is grey, not blue.
It is probably the finest grey dial in existence, the others I have seen are degraded, chipped or damaged which seems not through neglect but an aging characteristic of these dials.
Making this highly desirable and rare.

 

Is a congrats in order, @Spacefruit?

 

Or are congrats in order for Mrs. Fruit?

 

Wow @Spacefruit nice pickup. Congrats on the auction win. That is one drop dead sexy watch.

 

Wow. While $60k is nothing to sneeze at, that watch has to be one of only a few in existence?

What would a Rolex with equivalent rarity go for?

 

white dial GMT.

 

Absolutely to die for Speedy.

 

How nice is it in the flesh, compared to a mint black? Are you going to have to store it in nitrogen or something

 

If you allow me a bit of co-moderation givering...

For someone who doesn't like them, you sure know your speedmaster shit...

 

Crazy dial!!!
