    Was $1 when I added it, I really don't know to be honest, that's one of the things that makes it so interesting in that we have no reference price for these.

    They're not LE or numbered or anything but there are simply not many of them around, and the ones that are tend to be either missing the bracelet or over worked. This one is raw and original, so it'll give a good benchmark.

    Its not going to go crazy or anything these are not super rare or super special but they're cool enough and uncommon enough to be desirable.

    Here's the Fratello article on them:

    Seller responded to my question about bracelet, fits 7.5", sadly might be a bit out of my range already . . .

    No, auction timed out with no bids. Only had 30 mims to run when I posted it. Maybe we'll see it again.

    If it doesn't sell the first time, increase the price by $100 and list again! :cautious:

    Blue dial on this one. The other wasn't the NOS described, but pretty close.

    It won't go crazy as its not a special reference, just a nice early-ish example in very nice shape

    It's here, which increases the odds it will go crazy. ;)

    I think it might. It's in very nice condition and has all the paperwork and box which people pay premium for.

    Seller's feedback is concerning and they state it has never been worn - which is obviously not the case. [emoji848]

    Not exactly a recommendation, but a Franken that might be worth buying for parts if a good offer price can be got

    I asked the seller for some movement and inside case pics, It's a 1861, 44mil serial movement, with a reasonable DON bezel and 105.012-66 case back.

    Or maybe not - he was inviting offers, but has changed the listing to a buy it now only!!! He's also changed the description from speedmaster head only to speedmaster 105012 1966, so obviously unaware of what he has got

    A DON bezel in slightly better condition recently went for $855 on eBay, and a 145.012 caseback went for $743. So, you've got around $1500 in parts on this - could be a decent pickup in the low-2's if the seller plays ball
