Yepp Guys... another one....🤦

I do have a passion for this reference, and when the they pop up, I start to "twitch", drop everything that I am doing and start looking, but sometimes I do remember that there is a world beyond watches!!

Anyway, serial nr showing June 1967, and a Huge Thanks to @eugeneandresson for his wonderful website!

The dial is stepped with wide T Swiss Made T and applied metal logo.
Its hard with the few pics to see the condition of the dial, but there are some lumeplots that doesn't look nice..
The case looked nice, but after I asked for more pictures (low res...), there was sadly a huge damage.🙁

HF caseback that had a few deep scratches..
The bezel has marks and scratches, but still quite nice!
And the hands looks ok, but tired and scratched..
The crystal has a big crack/damage..
Pushers are the fat and nice ones, crown feels correct!
The movement have some chewed screw heads...
And the hammer price landed at 3200 £ /3625 €, plus the premium 30% (roughfly..).
I wasn't planing to do biding on this one, (didn't follow up on the dial condition etc),
and I didn't do any bidding...

But I do think that the price was really good!!
And a Happy Buyer, BUT NOT ME!!!

What do you think Guys??👎






Here are the low res pictures....

Case seems sharp. The damage is not a issue for me, I think at that price it's a good deal...

Quite a good deal, no?
Would have been nicer if you could assess the condition of the dial more accurately, but regardless, at least a win.

roughly 5000usd when counting in all the premiums, correct?

congratulations anyways.

when the bezel alone would be $1000...
i didn't think you could get a 105.012 for $5000+/- today.

Guys Guys Guys!

I think my English writing isn't "top notch" maybe?
I have NOT bought this watch - sorry if it appeared so!

I only ment that the price was really good and that the buyer (NOT ME) must be happy!

My Bad...:whipped:
