Hi all! Just bought this omega Speedmaster 145.012 for a great price, so at least this is what I thought. Of course it needs a bit of work (a crown and a service) but I hope after this, it will be a decent piece.
What do you guys think about this piece, especially about the bezel? From what I’ve managed to research on google it is an original vintage bezel not a service one. It also seems to be pretty rare. I am curious if it will add or remove value from the watch. Also curious to find how much would it be worth after a new crown and a revision to see if I did well or not. Thank you all!

Curious if you bought this flip? Looks sharp to my inexperienced eye. Great dial.

If you're only going to flip it don't invest in a service.

Fortunately services are still very affordable here in Romania so it wouldn’t be that much.

I'm no expert on these -67 models but it looks like the case has seen a polish at some point in it's life. The sides of the lugs are what gave it away to me. That said if you intend to keep it, should clean up nice after a nice sympathetic service. Highly recommend you find an independent Omega certified watchmaker who is experience in servicing vintage 321 movements to work on this.
