    I'd really appreciate input on this watch
    I'm thinking of buying, but a couple of things make me feel uneasy and its a very long round trip to collect it
    Dials don't look quite right
    'Professional' should that be there for this date ?
    I know the strap is rubbish
    I keep getting the feeling the back might not be exactly right for the front
    Any thoughts on how much a decent clean will cost ?


    Thanks in advance

    Dial is correct for 65. I think that the case back is incorrect as for 105.003 it should be a straight lug.

    I think you will find that it is a 105.012-65 like this:

    To answer your original question, yes the hands are rubbish.

    Cheers

    Go back and resit "Speedie Bezels 101" John, it's a decimetre bezel, not a pulsations :D

    I suspect it is from a previous service to detect any tampering.
