So probably you need the pushers for 145.012.
This wouldn't be correct... On a 105012 we expect short ones, not long as modern speedmaster, or as the 145012...
This detail will be almost the only way to see the difference between the 105012-66 and a 145012... So you m u s t find them...😁

You misunderstand. He needs screw in pushers for his Speedy. They do not exist in ‘short/fat’ style for the 105.012 hence the suggestion that he will have to use the 145.012 pushers.

Exact, thanks @Dash1 . It's maybe the only solution. But with 145.012 pushers, the look will be really "145.012"... (same [dial-hands-crown-pushers-back-bezel]... only CB case with facets... sharp eyes to see the difference...)...

Done👍. Especially with the wrong chrono hand, impossible to see the difference with a...... 145.012! (Hopefully the back is here...😉)

Would argue that the CB case facets could be another tell on the reference, but that might just be me. 😀

EDIT: Like you say above I see.

.. Before i reinstated the Original dumpy “fat neck” Pushers, my watchmaker got the service replacement dumpy “thin neck” pushers from “cousins”.. Are these not available anymore??

Indeed. And I can get my hands on these, too. But I am looking to get the watch back to original state or as original as possible, so I know the slim neck fat cap service pusher will bug me out with time.

Did you not understand what @Dash1 posted? Threaded fatnecks..

..you might find on of those way easier!
Thanks! Nice unicorn.

You must have missed an earlier post where I state I am then looking for two pusher sets based on @Dash1’s input RE the threading:
- the original to the reference push in fat necks
- threaded fat caps as seen on the 145.012

And that I intend to hand both sets in to the watch maker and ser what the outcome will be. Worst case is, I end up with a spare set of push in fat caps I will need to find a new hole for eventually.

Or takle it from another, admitting more costly angle. A new CB caseband. Might give you peace of mind in the long run though if you already hassle with small necks 😀

That is not a bad idea. I am just worried this solution is going to break the bank, big time. 🙁

My idea was actually to have the watchmaker fix the thread that has been drilled into the case (watchmaker admitting this is not the easiest thing to do), so that the case will be able to fit push-in pushers again and the watch can retain its originality. Of course, without messing up the case band. This is also why I am looking to source two sets of pushers, as I need to plan for a contingency.
