·I'd say this is a very solid assessment of the piece in question. Looking at the parts individually, this is a very nice watch. Let's not forget it has the correct fat neck pushers too. Those aren't easy to source when missing and the service ones do not look nearly as good (imho).
However, it's a pity the quality of the lume is letting it down. Even more so as some CB's feature lovely, pumpkin coloured, plots.
(As I followed the auction, I will not comment on the actual price it fetched)
😄
And the color of the lume - really bright pumpkin!

·Watching with interest because I would love to have a birth year 105.012 and 66 is it. But unless a miracle happens I will have to be satisfied with my collection of current 3861s.
But go look for a 105.012-65?
And I am also a 66!
👍👍👍

·The suspense is killing me 
Hans, please reveal the result to us !! I know very little about this reference but seeing all the original parts and good case my guess is the buyer would not mind the lume, or has a spare dial, so it did very well. euro 10K hammer ?

·Thanks Hans !
to me 10K including the premium seems a good deal.
I think that I would be bothered about the dial condition.
It is a lot of money, and I do hope that the buyer did his/her homework, and knows about the condition?
Breaking down the costs…
10600 $ - 1300 $ = 9300 $ head only
a new correct crown 500 $
Service and cleaning 800 $ (assuming that no pricey movementparts needs to be replaced)
Selling the bracelet and the endlinks could sponsor the costs?
But it would take some time...
You should then have a nice Speedy for roughly 10600 $ /10150 €
Comparing to Speedaster101´s chart, it would be close to Very Good (11500 $).
But the dial downgrades the watch….
You can also compare with the one I linked before.
That one was sold (had an asking price) for 15800 € / 16500 $.
And it had the correct bracelet, a nicer case/caseback, the correct crown, serviced, an extract, and a serious and trusted seller.
and a 65 is THE MOONWATCH!
There is one lovely 65 for sale here on the Forum:
About 11200 € / 11700 $.
My 2 öre…
😀
