I think you linked to the wrong watch.
ch, dsio, John Steed, Flame -- Thanks for your tip and comments above on the 105.003-65. The Ebay bid is over $5,500 now and reserve is not met, so this auction has already become a bit too rich for my blood. Following are photos the seller sent, which I'm sharing to stimulate interest among experienced members, and promote learning for those like me who are new.
Burning questions -- Is the bubbling and bloating of the lume on the markers reasonable for aging tritium, or is it evidence of a re-lumed dial? Do experienced collectors consider bubbling markers acceptable to the 'patina' of a 105.003 speedmaster?
Though this dot over 90 bezel seems better than many of the chewed up examples for sale anywhere, do experienced collectors on the forum consider this an excellent, very good or mediocre example for a 105.003-65 selling at over $5,500?

Looks like a reasonably priced Genève from 1966 - one of the 135.011's that came in Seamaster cases.

Seems right to me too, but it has been relisted since 1/29?
