Hi forum members, just for fun, I thought I’d see what suggestions I would get for a straight swap for my speedy- It’s not the best conditioned one by far; The original bezel has a ding and case has a couple of scratches but what it does have is really good “lines” on lugs, original fat neck pushers and Extract stating it was a NAAFI delivered watch.. What watch would you straight swap for and why....

 

Nothing...it's a great 105.012 with great provenance...I would love such a watch! Try to get another one like this...you will be hard pressed.

 

Its not the worst conditioned one either, in fact I would be happy with it if I didn't already have one I am happy with (in similar condition!). Polish that crystal, get the movement serviced, and wear the hell out of it.

+1

FWIW : IMHO thats rarer than any Rolex worth twice the value ... by a long shot.

EDIT : but if I were to straight-swap ... it would have to be a 2998 in similar condition

 

I would probably say yes to a zenith Daytona 16520 with black patinated dial...

 

unfortunately you will have some cash to add on the trade

 

Ya

 

I don’t understand this thread.

First you ask for suggestions on what people think would be a good straight swap for your 105.012. I assume straight swap means no cash from either party. Then you answer your own question with a Zenith Daytona which is worth maybe 2x or 3x the value of your watch.

 

I think the OP has a strange fascination with trying to trade his Speedy on the 28th February. Bit strange, but it takes all sorts...

Yeah, I’m only having a bit of fun.. no suggestions have come forward yet.. I wouldn’t ACTUALLY swap my ‘66 speedy for anything.. But if someone was crazy enough to offer a Daytona I MAY NOT BE ABLE to say no..
Post intended for FUN

 

That’s extraordinary- Hand on heart, It was quite by chance I should post this today..I’m in interested in nice watches.. Like this community.. Post for fun only..
Jeez, some awfully serious people here..

 

Oh I wasn’t being serious... have some light-hearted emojis

 

@Tri-national-man What’s the serial number? It is amazing how many Speedmasters from this period turn out to be NAFFI.

 

Carton of beer and a good size mud crab (live)

 

i would love to trade it for the time i wasted reading this more than useless thread ....

@STANDY with the crab u overpay, the crab is in way better condition

 

He could repost it in three years. The conditions might allign...

 

That crab looks as murderous as any other Australian animal but more delicious than most

 

Not useless, I learned what a mud crab is (a cannibalistic mean looking crab ).
