    Estate sale with low resolution crappy pictures and a description consisting of "older Omega Speedmaster watch - working". Watch is a 145.012-67 and it came on a 1039/516 bracelet.

    Congrats Joe!

    Perhaps it's the photo angle but, to me, the case lugs look a bit off. Were they polished much?

    May we ask how much? plus or minus $500. Or is that considered bad manners?

    One of the best dot over 90's I've seen! This alone would have been worth the pickup, even if everything else on this watch was beyond repair.

    I think it's the angle. From what I can tell it appears this watch was never polished.

    Here is a close up of one of the lugs. Not the best lighting conditions.
