    Still thinning the herd and therefore up for sale is my 145.012-67. Case is in sharp condition with minimal signs of polish, dial is not perfect but still in good condition and the DON bezel is excellent.

    I have owned the watch for a few years and it has not been serviced whilst in my possession and I am unaware of the service history but in saying that all functions as it should. One unique/unusual feature of the movement is that at some point in time it has been fitted with the early style balance cock which could be of a bonus to some.

    I am requesting $7,000 USD plus shipping. Which fundamentally is less than the the sum of the parts if the watch were to be parted which obviously I will not and would not suggest.

    Sorry about the poor quality of the pics as I am posting from work and will post better quality pics when I am at home tonight.
    As always have to answer and PM's or provide further pics on request.

    Cheers

    Update, when you look at the dial under a loupe it appears as though most of the lume is missing off the indices. I have tried to depict this in the pics below.

    The term is called a "washed" dial. Not that the dial was actually washed but, the lume has been "washed" away or removed from the plots..

    This watch is not sold??

    For the benefit of some of our newer members, the is not a more astute collector in OF than @Barking mad. He only has premium watches in his collection. I have purchased 4 watches from Pete and each deal was (like his watches) flawless. His only fault is that his asking prices are too low. Look up his his posts from 2014 and 2015 and observe his collecting ability and Speedmaster knowledge.

    If I didn't have a 145.012-67 already I would buy it myself.
