Hi Guys!

This is my first post regarding a strange seller on Ebay, so I do hope that this is the right way to post??
I am not trying to become a Perezcope Guy, I only want to warn other Forum members.

And here is the story:

I found this watch on Ebay (I know - why the fudge am I searching there…)
And it is a 145.012-67, I have been looking for this reference for a long time…
I looked at the pictures and thought that the watch had some strange issues?

The dial - closed spaced T´s, this reference should have wide spaced T´s.
I learn about this a few posts before…🤦
and I also had The Bible (Moonwatch Only) to do my research ….
So the dial didn't match the watch, not a biggie for some maybe, but that made me not want to join the bidding.
I did ask the seller a few questions about this, and his respons time was very fast,
but with very lame answers….
He wrote that he actually had no clue…!

So this was a No-Go!
Link below to the ended sale.
With a very low price.

And now, the same seller has another 145.012-67 on Ebay for an auction!
So of course, I had to take a look.
At first, you might think it's another watch, the bezel and bracelet/strap are different,
but when you start to look at the details, it has to be the same watch!!

The dial has the close spaced T´s, the lume plots look the same, the weird hands are the same,
movement looks the same with the same serial nr,
the caseback has the same scratches inside and outside etc etc!

Link below to the new auction.

My point here is, had I not seen the first auction, and had not learned (with all the help from this Forum)
all the details regarding references etc, I might have followed the auction and bought this watch.
And I do think that those who are new to the SpeedyWorld might buy this watch?

So always buy the Seller and not the Watch??

Please correct me if I am wrong here, and if so - I will try and delete this post!


Regarding the pictures, the first five are the watch that was sold.
And the following four (head only) are the ones for the watch on auction now.

Good eye! Definitely the same watch. Not sure about that bezel. Could be Photoshop.

Have a close look at the spacing between Speedmaster and Professional. Something is very, very wrong about this dial.

"written parts" of the contract and description:

The watch is from the year 1967.
Calibre 321
It works correctly but has not been reviewed recently.
Size 42 mm
The serial number of the movement is 26 million
It has marks of use due to the passage of time.
The bezel is aftermarket


Not much , but IMO: nothing wrong in the description 😕

buyers need to learn how to fish : watches, cars , ships, houses 😁 - Electricians say: learning through suffering

That Professional ::facepalm1::
I know, I know...
I just stared at the T´s, and stopped there....

But I do hope that the eager, new to Speedys reads this post!

I am more into seamasters and may I ask: the T never reaches (speedmasters) to the 28-32-minute-markings?

And to sum it all up...

And it´s mine!

And ? Everything is clearly to see. Will possibly go a lot higher anyway.

Auction ended at little more than 4K. Seems about right between aft bezel and l questionable dial ( to put it mildly...)

This watch was on eBay a few weeks ago with a caveat that Professional had been added to the dial at some time.
