Hi everyone,

I'm happy to present my first Omega watch, a 145.012 from October 1968.
Everything original except the bezel.

Any opinion, comment is welcome

Congrats, and welcome. The DNN bezel is a bit better than a service bezel. The condition of the bezel isn't great, but it still has some value that you can put towards a DON if you choose.

There's no way to tell when a DON was manufactured as far as I know. I just checked, and there are several currently listed in the accessories and parts sales sub-forum, with a range of price and condition. Send the seller a PM if you are interested.

A real beauty... lines are sharp, wonderful dial and patina.
Look forward to seeing it with a DON, if you decide to buy one.

Every time I see this type of lume I imagine the history of specific watch by fast page turning of an old comics book. Congratulations!

Hi everyone, can you tell me what's the correct bracelet reference for my speedy? I guess a 1039 bracelet with 516 end links, but I'd like to have your feedback. Thx
