    I never though I'd sell this 145.012-67, but I've just bought another watch and can't keep them all, unfortunately. I've discussed this watch in depth and can't do better at full disclosure than posting these two links:

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/thoughts-on-a-145-012-67.65807/
    http://watchguy.co.uk/restoration-omega-speedmaster-145-012-67/

    The watch is running perfectly and all chrono functions work exactly as they should. I'm selling Head only but if you're interested in the 1116/575 you can pm me because I'm probably going to sell it here soon.

    Pros:
    If you want a 321 Speedy to wear you can't do better than this. It's working perfectly, there's no brittle lume to fall off as it has been expertly re-lumed and it's even "waterproof"! This is due to new, but original, crystal, crown and pushers. The good thing about the 145.012 is that the new pushers and crown are still correct for this reference. The dial is a thing of beauty and the case looks unpolished to me. The DOT 90 bezel is in great shape too. The movement is in excellent nick and every single screw is original to the 321, something that can't be said of many 321 movements. It comes with an extract of the Archives: It was sold to Japan.

    Con:
    If you want a Speedy with all parts original to the watch as it left the factory and with original lume, this is not it. I can't think of another negative thing to say, sorry.

    Now to the price: I find it very difficult to price this watch. Speedmaster101 gives a price of 7500 USD for "good" and 13000 for "collector" head only. I think the condition of this watch is collector grade BUT it's been relumed and needed extensive restoration to get it in this shape. So I'm selling it for Euro 7000- (around 8200 USD). The first to send a message that they'll pay full price gets the watch.

I will consider reasonable offers but don't be offended if I don't answer ridiculous offers. If it doesn't sell at close to this price I'll probably sell it elsewhere.

    I haven't sold anything here but have 100% feedback on other sites (please ask). I'll accept transfer and PayPal F&F. I'm living in Belgium and will ship from here but of course you're welcome to pick it up here. ;-)

    For those who are worried about the safety of this type of sale I can also offer to send the watch to the Watchguy in the UK who serviced this watch and when he has received the watch and confirmed this to the buyer, you can send me payment. Once I've received payment I'll let Christian know and he can ship the watch.

    I will only accept returns if the watch is grossly misrepresented. As a private seller I can't guarantee the watch but Christian at Watchguy serviced this watch and is a stand-up guy, so he'll probably sort you out if something does go wrong. You could always ask him: [email protected]

    Please ask all questions and read everything I've written (the links as well) before making an offer.

    Thanks for the opportunity to sell here!
