    Unsure of the status on this or if it sold but my watchmaker is acting as a broker for the sale.
    Does anyone see anything wrong with it? Anything that isn't original?

    Looks good. Bracelet is younger than the watch, and not correct for the reference. The end links are modern, not vintage, probably bracelet too. Other stuff checks out though.

    DON, wide T dial, nice looking lume plots, OK case. Maybe chrono hand is service item, not sure.

    Maybe double check inside of the case back for proper vintage stamp. The modern version of the 145.0012 ( extra zero) case is still available.

    Yes, the bracelet is from a 69 and I noticed the modern end links as well.

    Given the modern end links, are you sure it's a vintage bracelet? Just cause it was on '69 doesn't mean it's from '69..

    Everithing looks good to me except bracelet. But it would not be a deal breaker for me!
    Nice one!

    Only way to tell is by inside of the clasp.

    Crown looks like a service one.

    Agree with Oddboy. Later bracelet and chrono hand looks like a replacement. The bracelet looks more like 80's to me with the square stamp.

    Dial looks lovely though, with a pretty good bezel.

    Have you seen it in the flesh? What do you think to it?

    The sweep second hand is incorrect. The case has some wabi sabi, appropriate for it's age. The dial has a nice creamy patina. Bezel is good, not great but matches the case. The sweep second hand just about matches the other hands and the dial but is not the correct one for a 145.012. Can't see the crown but I don't place a great deal of value on having the original. It has a seal, as do the pushers, that is meant to be inserted once and is routinely changed by the watchmaker when they do service on the watch. This is necessary to insure that the watch remains water resistant. All in all I'd say it's condition is very good.

    This has been discussed in private and on here in the past. I have no intentions of bring it up again only to say that if, and only if, a 1171 would be correct for a '69 Speedy it would have been the version of the 1171 with the Omega logo in a recessed trapezoid not a square one.
