    Hi,

    I come to ask the help of the speedmaster expert.
    What do you think of this Speedmaster 105.012 ? It is in bad shape, but the price is good (2000$) and I would not mind to spend money to restore it. According to the seller it has never been polished, has original crown, pushers and crystal.

    Thank you for your help.

    Something is wrong. That's an impossibly low price, even with the wrong bezel. This is likely a scam. By the way, that is not in bad shape, it's in very nice shape for a 105.012.

    I agree it seems to good to be true, I asked the seller more photos. I will post them when I get them. Maybe someone will find what’s wrong... or not !

    The bezel is wrong, but it's still worth at least twice (or even 3x) that asking price. I'm more concerned that it is a total scam. Like a Nigerian prince scam.

    Assuming it's not a scam it's pretty nice IMO.

    I wouldn't pay without seeing a picture with the watch and a timestamp of the current date and your user name

    If you shure it comes in your hand,take it fast.
    Stop second hand is also wrong but newer original Omega.

    Can you read the serial number from the movement? It's too blurry for me. Have you seen the case-back, does it really say 105.012? The sweep hand and the bezel are not correct for a 105.012. And the bezel and dial don't go together at all. It's still worth more than $2000 in parts, but it's possible it's just a random assembly of parts.

    Forum members have been documenting some scams which seem to relate to Peru.
