I noticed the speedmaster101 price chart update for May wherein the 145.012 made a small jump and gained a bit of terrain on its predecessor the 105.012, but still at considerable distance and much closer to the 145.022 pre moons.
This certainly is no criticism to the chart, because that one is backed up by actual sales, but it surprises me that the 145.012 is closer to the 861 successors than to its 321 daddy the 105.012.
I find it moreso surprising when you look at the 145.012 parts, which fetch crazy money.
If I look at my 145.012, which I'd say is pretty good. Decent case, good dial with some lume loss on the 3 marker and a pretty damn good DO90 bezel. The movement is terrific and freshly serviced and comes with an extract of the archives.
If I was going to put the watch up the block for sale (which I'm not!), I'd dare ask 7500 (euro's or dollars) for it. But if I'd look at the parts and add them up (based on recent sales, but conservatively priced here) I come to the conclusion that the whole is quite a bit lesser than the sum of its parts
[Note: watch is NFS, not as a whole and not in parts]
This begs the question, is this discrepancy unique to the 145.012? I have a feeling that the discrepancy between the whole vs the parts isn't as big with a 105.012-66 or a 145.022 pre moon, or am I mistaken?
And is the 145.012 perhaps 'undervalued'? 'Undervalued' is perhaps a bit of a cynical term here, when you one looks at the obscene prices.
