·Saw this one on the upcoming Antiquorum auction on 14th May:
https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/omega-ref-145-012-speedmaster-racing-lot-360-47?page=1&q=
As these rarely come up, I thought it would be nice to highlight the event.
I am not going to buy one, because it's out of my league.
(Being a fan of these dials I have one homage racing Mark II in 105.012 case
)
So, what do you think of it?
I am no trained specialist on these, but when compared to some I've seen before...
Pretty good case, sharp. Perhaps has been polished a bit from the inside of the lugs. At least, why is the gap there?
Correct and well-preserved DO90 bezel.
The lume is gone. I have often seen that the lume is present on every second marker on these models.
Running seconds hand is replaced, should be red.
The hour and minute hand seems a bit too orange. These should be more red, but perhaps it's ok.
I am not sure if the chronograph hand is correct. I've seen different ones.
Flat foot crown original. Pushers too.
@Spacefruit probably could correct me if needed![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
Is this going to stay under 6 figures price?
