Newb considering this 105.012-66 CB - advice requested

Hello Wise Ones - I went to the vendor store and looked at this 105.012-66 CB - offered on the bay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Pre-M...750858?hash=item43f73c928a:g:JboAAOSwmLlX9ncL

Using MWO and Speedmaster101 as reference, with my untrained eyes it looks like (1) the watch was polished and the facets were a bit hard to identify, (2) the bezel shows some wear and a bit of damage around close to the 130 mark but is correct, (3) the crown and pushers seem to be replacement items, and (4) the bracelet is a replacement. On the good side, everything else seemed correct, the dial looked nice, all functions worked, and the asking price is not too far from Speedmaster101 price chart for "Running" condition.

I am considering purchasing this and using it as a daily wearer, after getting it a service, a new leather strap, replacement crystal, and period correct crown and pushers.

Any advice on the watch conditons and values if possible would be very much appreciated!

I agree with Oddboy, the case is what separates these CBs from the other asymetrical 321's. I'd want better facets ideally.

However, the rest looks correct and reasonable and the price isn't ridiculous.

A pic because it infuriates me when I'm reading back through old posts and can't see what everyone's talking about when the link has expired.

Yes I think that the watch suffers a bit from Chrono Creep, and the bracelet may be a Holzer ( I remembered seeing Hecho En Mexico and some other words that I can't remember in the back). The price is somewhat comparable to an HF case in similar conditions so I might be able to overlook the fading facets, but again it may come back and irritate me as member oddboy advised.

I'd like to have a 105.012, am not stuck on a -66 CB, and will think hard about the facets. Perhaps I can learn to live with them given a certain price.

Thank you for all your help.

Thanks all. You're right, if I buy it it will bug me daily. I'll wait for a better one.
