    It is the crystal for pre 105.003 straight lug modes.

    Just a shot in the dark but I wonder if it might be the BA145.022-69 18K model's tension ring, from memory theirs is a shiny gold and it'd fit the case.

    Something like:

    Can we be certain it's not simply the highly polished steel reflecting a warm light in the photo? Like an incandescent bulb or late sunlight?

    I've seen a few times the yellow gold tension ring fitted on a non-gold Speedies. So it exists as an option, but haven't seen anything saying it is correct for the watch.
