Hi A friend have asked for advice for a Speedmaster he have been offered to buy. Ref. 145.012-67, cal. 321, serial 2500xxxx Newer bracelet. Asking price 6.800$ (is think it is way to high) Bezel looks ok, hands wrong (861 ??) But what about that dial ??? cant even find a non applied logo non Pro with T Swiss Made T Dial in the MWO book. Should be a Speedmaster Pro dial for the 145.012-67.... Any comment will be welcome, thanks. Best Thomas
Check the price guide at Speedmaster101. Most all proper vintage Speedies are going ballistic these days.
I have allready checked it, and the price is over "Good" I am more worried about the dial not being correct??
Pre-professional dial with a painted logo is kinda odd looking. Possibly a vintage service dial? Will have to take a look at MWO book
Dial is not correct for 145.012. Looks like a modern service replacement dial (still available), maybe 'aged'? Edit: hmm, no, doesn't look like there is a modern service dial like this one.. so maybe vintage service dial? Still, 145.012 needs a Pro dial. http://speedmaster101.com/blog/calibre-321-service-dials/
The dial isn't correct. It looks like one if the rare 70's service dials that pop up every now and again in various guises. Strange that this one has narrow spaced T's. Whatever it is, it's not correct so should be no where near 'good' price.
Is it normal for the numbers on the bezel to be cut off the way they are in the photo? The '60' seems to be the worst offender.. Perhaps it is the way the photo was taken?
