Wow... have we seen a blue Ed White before?

 

Yes

As well did we already cover the dial differences, like short indexes/pre-pro, for example But they are beautifuuuuuuul

 

Thanks, that is really spectacular. The lack of bezel at the moment doesn’t even make a difference!

 

last one passed in my hands

 

Wow

 

So you're saying you've turned into me. Be careful, banning is next!

 

What do you think about this dial ? It looks like there is a light blue on it... on a 105.012-64

 

I can’t see that myself. Maybe some more photos in different lighting conditions would help but it doesn’t seem to have the distinctive finish of other blue dials.

 

all i see is a matte black dial .... but maybe i have a blue/brown blindness

 

In person it should be quite obvious if it is different dial, this one I think might just have aged a little

 

Just a normal black dial I'm afraid.

 

Whoops ! 12k then 100k now.

 

This grey metallic dial sold today at auction:

https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/omega-speedmaster-lot-318-194?page=1&q=Omega+

Went for about $23k usd all in. I was an underbidder, thought it was attractive but got priced out.

 

Nice!

 

The AQ watch:

Not a bad watch. This dial is one of the grey, "soft"dials. (My designation)

These soft dials have a pleasant grey colour, with a matt lustre. One of the things that characterize all the soft grey dials is the deterioration, which is present to some degree - this one is better than many, although I have seen one or two that might be better.

$23,000 is not a crazy price. But we have to remember, the market is very limited, as this while this watch has tremendous attraction to a Speedophile like myself, most people would look at the dial and yell "Condition Condition Condition" which in my opinion is something chanted by inexperienced people, who overlook just how very rare this dial is, and also makes me wonder, each time I look at one, just HOW, and WHY?

Of course if your goal is only to have perfect B&P watches, then great (and yes I would love to see them) but for me, buy opening my self up a bit I can enjoy these weird and unusual pieces, albeit in somewhat poorer condition that I would accept on a 145.012.

Congratulations to the buyer.

 

Just spotted this watch for sale, asking price is 40k euro and apparently it is reserved already!

 

Found another grey dial, sadly in bad condition but the price was right!

 

another variant, grey dial with a vertical satin finish, remarkable for this topic
