I think its a good condition 145.012 with a decimal bezel (no idea if vintage or not, I trust you to do your homework). The slightly dirty lume removes a bit of value to me, but lets ignore that. That would put it at about $10~10.5k for watch and bracelet.
So now the question is : is an orange chronograph hand worth $36k to you? Because to me it is not. But thats just me.
Edit : for $36k, I would rather have a collector condition 2998. As soon as another one popped up for sale ofcourse.

·I´m still learning about the old vintage Omegas. So what would your response be, if I say that the hands looks painted and also maybe relumed? Also the hands in the subdials looks painted. Maybe I´m wrong, and the hands are just in an incrediably good shape.

·I don’t see the value or appeal in the Ultramans but obviously others disagree.
If you’re looking to dump 50k on it you must’ve done your homework. What do you think?

·That dial certainly didn't come from an Ultraman

·For that kind of money I would need a report from some sort of independ laboratory. It should include an x-ray of that orange second hand where it clearly proofs one layer of laquer ( preferably orange 😀) but also the age of it.
Other than that it's a great looking Speedmaster..

·There are a couple areas that will pause my interest and make me think twice. First the case back, the inner style (thin fonts) is a bit early for the 1968 production. I'd rather see "145012-67 SP" on the same line, not "SP" over the "145012-67". Second, the 1506 3/66 bracelet while more valuable than the 1039 2/68 isn't exactly period correct IMHO. This may sound too picky but when it comes to dropping that kinda money one must be sure of every detail. While the dial and plots are debatable, certainly there is a big plus on the vintage decimal bezel.

·Correct, the archive excerpt is after the changeover, that is August 2019. What bothers me is that the papers are blank. At this price the papers should be original...

They are period correct though. Date stamp on papers is 11/68, watch produced 6/68. So they could hypothetically be ‘the’ papers ...

·That mid case is not right.
Here's what a correct 145.012-67 mid case profile should look like:

·The case is correct, both variants can occur, this according to "Moonwatch only".
The case they are showing in this picture is a 90's case. I was actually thinking about contacting the authors and bringing that up to their attention when I saw this a while back, but I haven't seen the new edition of the book that just came out, maybe they fixed it.
