Recently scored a 145.012 speedy. The watch is in decent condition except for the bezel and the hands. The bezel is scuffed which isn't necessarily out of the ordinary. The hands, however, were filled with some after market lume and don't have the patina that would finish the picture.

So, my question is, is it possible to get these parts from an older watch? Would people sell a bezel with the DON and hands which have a nice patina from the aged tritium?

Thanks.

 

Photos or this thread doesn't exist. The answer is yes and be prepared to part with a large number of dollars, pounds, euros or currency of your choice.

 

As mentioned above, post pictures of your watch. You need to bribe us with porn before we will do anything.

 

Some appetizers...will post more later (not with me).

 

You can see the bluish in the seconds hand for the chrono.

Thanks again!

 

Is it a step dial??

 

Nope modern dial late 90's, I believe. Chrono hand is also wrong shape.

The Correct dial has long hour indices and an applied metal logo aka AML.

 

Oof... I have doubts about that dial too. Look at the T next to Swiss Made. No narrow T dials with the short and closed S. I think the dial was replaced and redialled at some point afterwards - at best.

 

And then I started thinking... hey... no AML on a 321... service dial? Check MWO... no dice, then the other great source.

Check the one on the right, narrow T's, short indicies, domed, modernish Speedmaster font. I think it is a service dial.
