Excellent read, thanks 馃憤 and not just for the CB influencelines and polishing, but
Now i finally also have a feel to "see" the lower pusher caps, been struggling to distinguish those like in this - 64 example from ebay with incorrect ones if i am right ?


William has forgotten more about Speedmasters than I have learned!

And those are the skinny pushers...!

From the Master!

Original pushers on this reference are 5mm wide and 3mm tall (Strictly speaking they are 2.7mm tall but very hard to measure in situ.) and are known as Short and Fat pushers, or mushroom pushers. The original ones have fat necks when compared to service replacements.

$12k USD is a rather ambitious price for that watch! Surprised they don鈥檛 mention the CB case in the description.

Yepp, that is not a 12K watch, but Mr Wind always sets the price way above market....

I recently bought this 1967 Omega catalog, the first year they put the Speedmaster reference to Ed White at the cover. This catalog is from Italy, same as my Speedmaster 105.012-66 HF. Here are some photos:
