·Hello everyone.
Thanks for everything.
I would like to hear your opinions as I may buy this watch. Please advise me.
Information about the watch
・Model number is ST105.003-65 Serial number is 24531054
・The price is about 9586$ after bargaining.
・Seller is the second owner and the first owner is the seller's an older brother.
・It has been serviced twice. The first service was done in the early 1970's. ・The second service will be done in January 2021. Seller don't know what parts were replaced in the first service, but the parts replaced in the second service were the crystal and the internal gaskets.
・I asked the seller about the polishing of the case and he said it was not polished.
Seller's description of the watch
・Date of manufacture and movement
Purchased around 1966-1968
Back cover seems to have been made around 65 to 66.
・Features and selling points
My brother bought this watch at Ginza Wako around 1966 and I received it in the early 70s. I'm sure you've heard of it. The bracelet is broken.
Unfortunately, the bracelet was broken and there is no box warranty at that time. Only the watch itself will be exhibited. However, it is not something that has passed on to others.
There are many scratches on the case body, and there are many scratches on the tachymeter and many paint baldness.
I think that the dial is relatively beautiful, although there is aged deterioration such as the luminous part. Each needle part has aged deterioration when viewed with a magnifying glass.
The windshield is clean with scratches that can be confirmed with a magnifying glass.
The error is plus 15 seconds on a flat surface. It's also possible to clearly see the shallow engraving on the back cover. Manual winding stopwatch operation is all good.
・Condition, scratches, bracelet frame, accessories
The watch itself only. There is no bracelet, box, or warranty card. There are some scratches and dents on the case. The case has scratches and dents, the bezel has scratches and dents on the tachymeter part, and there are paint flakes. The dial is relatively clean for a 105.003, although the luminous area has deteriorated over time. As for the hands, there are some age-related deterioration in the whole, especially on the second hand, which can be confirmed with a loupe as a kind of stain. The back cover has a shallow engraving but is clearly visible. The manual winding function and stopwatch are all in good working order.
・Date difference and size
Date difference: about 15 seconds on a flat surface.
Size: approx. 40mm
My opinion of this watch
・The dial is clean. The indexes are a little darkened from 7 to 10 o'clock. However, it is generally clean and there are no chips. There are no chips on the hands.
・There are a dent. However, the width of the facets is narrow, and as the seller says, it seems to be unpolished.
・The bezel is the correct DON90 bezel, but it is scratched.
・The indexes and hands glow when exposed to UV light. When the UV light is removed, it dims after a few seconds. I think the indexes and hands are tritium.
・I think the dragon head and pushers are correct.
Dial and hands Good-.
Case Good-.
Bezel Fair
I used a translation service, so I apologize if the English is strange.
Thank you for reading.
