Very different to mine... not seen a chocolate dial the shade of this eBay one in real life. Mine is darker so wonder if this is lighting? If it isn't, then I want it! Either way I want it... super nice.

Lighting matters. Here are two shots of one I bought recently. The seller provided many more photos than these, to facilitate a thorough appraisal. Ignoring the dial for the moment (hard to do), just compare the bezel in these two photos.

FWIW, I think the eBay watch above is considerably overpriced, even factoring in the bracelet and extract.

This is my watch (also listed for sale on the forum).
Here is a quick & dirty phone pic I just took in my garage about a minute ago next to a more Chocolate-ish 145.022-69



Dial color & aging is kind of similar to the "Yellow Tag" tropical 145.022-69 that sold at auction a little over a year ago:

It鈥檚 a beauty... I鈥檇 love to own it, but alas I have 6 Speedmaster and I鈥檇 have to lose 3, possibly 4 of them to pay for this one. Such a great dial
