All you need now is a nice extract from the archives.

What a great Christmas gift to yourself 🥰.

Your experience reminds me of mine when I purchased my 145.012-67 earlier this year: Combination of own research and great help of some seniors here.

Thanks for posting your story. Superb catch for you and great knowledge sharing for others like me.

Enjoy!

This is exactly the sort of watch all collectors dream of finding, very original, attractive and from the original owner. It’s very hard to find them like this nowadays so well done! My favourite reference too. Dibs.

Looks like a moonswatch!!! I did not know that omega started to make something similar without the help from swatch.
Enjoy it!

Thanks Achim (wrote wrong before....sorry..)!
And it was Simon who did the work, but this was in 2023...
Simon is not so Speedy nowadays...🙁

That is a hairs width away from being a truly wonderful example. I'd actually be tempted to get the darker spot on the minute hand touched up (which would probably mean work on all 3 hands maybe to ensure matching). Or a replacement tritium hand set. Once that was done it would look mint. But that is just me, it is pretty damn good as it is!

I did give it a thought, but looking at similar HF´s, a few of them have this kind of hands....so I didn`t bother,
But maybe down the road?
This one will stay with me for a long time!
