watch_my_six
·Hi all, BRAND new to OF! As you may have seen recently on another popular website, there is a 145.012-67 for sale with a NON-working reset, NON-original bracelet, and NON-original box, but WITH original papers. I'm still waiting for more information from the seller, but from what I can tell, the watch appears to be mostly original (signed 321 w/matching serial, thick B1 case, B3 step dial with spaced Ts, B1 bezel with DON etc., C2 hands with flat chrono, and A4 caseback w/matching dustcover).
What I'm less sure of are whether the crown, pushers, and glass are original; whether the aging (or lack thereof) of the dial/hands/lume is appropriate; and perhaps most importantly - whether there are any obvious issues with the movement (other than the known reset issue), or other red flags. The case also doesn't appear to be overly polished (does it?), but there is some sort of streak on the glass near 7 o'clock. The watch was also apparently serviced in 2015.
What I'm looking for help with from you all is 1) does my assessment above appear accurate? Is there anything I've missed? 2) How much do you think it could cost to repair? 3) What are the biggest strengths and weaknesses of this piece? And what would the biggest risks be in acquiring it?
Thank you in advance!
