·Hi all,
I've recently become interested in pre-moon speedmasters. I randomly came across this 145.012 and have been considering trying to buy it. The photos aren't that great, but the condition looks okay. The Cal 321 has serial number 26,54,XXX and the watch comes with an extract that dates it to September 26,1968. It seems to have a Holzer bracelet, which is interesting considering the extract says it was delivered to Switzerland.
I poked around some past forum posts and the seamaster101 site and I noticed a few issues. Obviously the hands aren't in the best shape and the dial seems to be a service dial. I noticed it has short indexes and no applied metal logo. I'd love to hear what people think. Any idea how old the dial might be? How much does this hurt the value? Is this bezel considered a DON bezel?
I'd appreciate any general comments about what it could be worth. The value chart on speedmaster101 lists the value for a 145012-67 watchhead at $8,000(good) and $5,800(fair). I figure it would land in this range, but I'm still figuring things out.
Thank you in advance!
