Master watch dealer Mr Eric Wind has a nice CB for sale
25.0000 USD?! Am I missing something? And those lume plots look rather thick for a -66.

Anyway, here's my 105.012-66HF

Chronoholic had a better example for significantly less a few months ago… surprised at the price and how fast it sold as well.

Beautiful watch!

Mr. Wind has an amazing tendency to get top dollar for the watches he has for sale!

And with the original bezel....for now!
It's always great knowing the watch is good to go for many years. But why did they put the original bezel back on?

Well.....I still can't decide about the bezel.
It has its charm, but maybe in the future?
And when I did my post on this one, the Forum was roughly 50/50 regarding keeping or changing the bezel!

Well if the other one is a genuine DON bezel, then I would go for the full package. Mine might be replaced later on, but still is fully original.

With the guidance of @hansaboy I was able to pick up this 66 HF for a good price yesterday after a very long road trip across Japan to view it! It has a lot of service parts - bezel, hands, crown and pushers, and the case is polished but I was won over by the dial - I just have a thing for pumpkin lume and clean dials!
Eventually I would like to either get matching tritium put on the service hands, or buy a set of original hands that match. I would also love to obtain the flat foot crown and fat neck pushers and a nice DON bezel, either a good quality aftermarket one, or an original - preferably a bit ghosted! Either way, I’m delighted with this and I’ve wanted a 105.012 for years!
