please help i dont buy this type normally........so i have no idea on these s/p , could you please enlighten me.. hope you dont mind any info would help.. thank you
Looks like a potentially stunning 105.003. Dial looks to have a hint of the tropical, case looks good and a lot of the marks on the bezel will clean off. How much? Www.speedmaster101.com
Nice watch 105.012 pushers ? Hands looks replacement to me Picture of case back and movement would help
as Davidt says it's a very nice looking 105.003, but I think the chances of this going anywhere near the estimate are slim.
Have you bought or are you looking to buy? Some more photos would be good, bracelet appears to be missing it's end links and cannot tell what it is from this picture, but looks as though it could be period correct. Comparing the picture to my Ed White It looks genuine and will clean up nicely as @Davidt says. A great find, (depending on cost)
Offered at an online auction - will definitely shoot past the estimate, as all speedmasters seem to do!
Having seen this at auction its in the UK and from the other pics available the dial appears to be tropical so its going to rocket past the estimate IMHO, it looks like a bloody nice barn find as as others would contribute it will no doubt fetch a premium based on the unrestored nature of the watch and its desirability, that wrist cheese and years of grime are ironically going to really help its case.
I was interested in bidding until I saw the buyer's premium for online bidders...35%?!? What in the bloody hell?!
Yes you're probably right. I actually changed my mind - I think they are original too. Other examples tend to have the same lume color on the handset
+1 on the pushers not being correct for the straight lug Speedy. Can't tell from the picture whether the hands are replacement.
Having looked at the auction site there are only two photos, one front one back, the engraving on the back would put quite a few off, and as @ChicagoFrog says 35% premium! Unbelievable! Be interesting to see what it goes for, certainly way more than the estimate.
My personal belief is that it pushes $20K including premium. Happy to be a spectator, given the 35% premium. Insanity.
My brother in law is the auctioneers landlord, so I've just sent my nephew down to have a nose at this Watch with a view to a buy it now price (of course no joy there) - he says the chrono pusher isn't functioning and has forwarded me the following slightly better picture. Oh and by the way....I'm out of the running and will just . Good luck everyone who bids, it looks a great one!
