Β·Good morning Forum People!
Its been a while since my last post regarding auctions!
And I think you guys have missed them...π
I have been looking for this ref for some time now, but with no success.
But I managed to win this one, and it landed recently!
And as usual, I would like to share the watch with you Guys and Gals!
It is a 145.012-67, and with two previous owners (Swedish!!).
The serial nr (26 mil) places it around April 1968.
It has been serviced at least one time, and the crown is a replacement (I think so??),
but I have sourced a period correct one.
The dial is nice, with an atractive color.
Lume plots have a few discolorations, but are complete with no loss.
The hands match the watch and dial, with the drop end chrono.
Bezel (DON) has a few marks (80 and 85), but other than that it is very good.
The case looks nice and still sharp, with some marks and scratches.
Tha caseback has som small scratches, and sadly a dent on it, but I can live with that.
The very scratched crystal must be the original one since the Omega logo is the old one (A2 Short Feet).
And its really (really..reallyβ¦!!!) dirty - so this one is going to Simon Freese for a total service and spa treatment.
Wellβ¦.what do you Guys and Gals think??
