Good morning!

I think you should ask for more pictures, showing more details?

Have you looked at this lovely website?
https://speedmaster101.com

The author also has a lot on youtube:

Start there, and maybe also buy this book (You might have it)?
Its really good to have, if you want to spend so much money...😉

Good luck!!

valable information ! thank you !
No problemo!

And take your time, try and ask the seller about the dial and maybe about previous services?

Morning !
Today on the CdA :

Reasonable cost .. no ?

Reasonable, yes.

Case is decent, dial looks unscratched, although not terribly attractive, at least in the washed out pictures. Hands are nice but index lume is unappealing. If those lumps are original, they have aged in an unfortunate manner. If they are the result of reluming, they can be redone to be made better. Serial number matches the reference. Extract is a bonus.

Overall, it's a great reference and could be an okay watch to wear. If I were buying, i would prefer spending more for an excellent watch such as this one for sale on OF:

To add. I’d want to see the inside caseback to confirm it’s original to the watch.

Ahhhh Nadav's watches are always perfect... 🥰

Not sure about the index lume either.
About the hands, if you look on differents pictures, the sweep hand look like it has been repainted. I'll try to explain with my bad english...
The lume looks off center, unbalanced. The white painting on the "frame" is fatter on one side and this is odd to me.

I also find the hand lume a bit too 'matchy-matchy' ... whilst it is possible and has been seen, there is usually something about original 'matchy-matchy' lume that tells it is original ... and this is somehow missing it. I would also like to see better pics of the case.

Seller posted different pictures on chrono24:



@pdxleaf

the op watch is a -65 (not a -66 😉)

My mistake, i thought I'd picked up a dash 65. I think chronoholic has one. Still prefer a better example.

Dial's not bad but not very good. Sub registers have fading. Would like to confirm the v shape scratch between 4 and 5 is not on the dial. Doesn't appear to have marks but i have a personal preference for darker.

The chrono hand might be original. I've seen others with that off center pointer. Could be a little sloppy from the factory.

I can't make a comment on the originality of the dial lume as I simply don't have enough experience. There's some shrinkage, which is good. It's a bit sloppy in areas. Color is nice. I guess it comes down to whether a person enjoys looking at it. Certainly seen a lot worse.

Case has seen polish. But it's not nicked and beat up.

I think it will look better on a correct bracket. The strap seems to bring it down.

IMHO, it seems a fair price. But it's not my money. 😉

I am in no way a "seasoned" Speedyguru....but looking at the pictures on Chrono, the lumeplots look a bit weird to me.
I have been looking at a lot of 105.012 dials, and I do think these look a bit "fishy"?

But if the seller writes that the dial has a "magnificent patina" - who am i to judge..?😉
