Nice looking watch. Hey, I edited your title to say "maroon" since I think that was the color you were talking about. Here in Joizey, "marone" isn't a word usually used to describe a Speedmaster.
Looks like hands and bezel replacement. Also the case? Anyway, really nice looking watch. Lovely dial
The faded bezel and the hands have been replaced by the first owner, dial, case and caseback are original. 145012-67. regards thomas
For that asking price I hope the seller is including the black dial example... Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful watch. Just as with Rolex, I never understood the premium for watches that showcase a defect...
As a man who will pay for a brown dial, I feel this watch is not so interesting...but I make no criticism of someone who outbids me on a watch like this. Its all down to personal taste, and we must buy what we like, not what everyone tells us is "good". I have seen redish brown dials before, indeed I own one, but I do not want to pay the same for a red brown dial as a "galaxy" brown. That said this watch, which as others have noticed is/was on the market for over Euros4000 appears in good condition, the dial especially nice condition. The bezel, while old, is not what everyone expects to see on this vintage. I reserve judgement awaiting more detailed shots. At the moment I am not 100% convinced - 90% maybe, about the dial's originality. Its SO good...More photos please! So far so good...just wary on the price advertised
Have you read the headline of the FS AD ? It does not say 145012 but 1450012 which means it is a replacement (watchco??) case or at least case back...
