So I thought I would share this beauty with you guys before I let her go. I originally acquired this 145.012-67 as a keeper ... one that I could stick with for quite some time and be happy. The quality was out of this world, every time I looked at it I thought it was a new watch ... legitimately a "stunner." Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you would like to look at it) I have a pending offer that is hard to refuse, so I think I am going to turn the page on this one and get an eye out for the next lady.

I know this might sound like a sales thread outside of the sales threads, but I assure you that is not the case. I merely wanted to share this beautiful example with the forum before it heads off to a new home. Respectfully, I have enough posts to make a sales thread so please don't think I am trying to skirt the rules.

Now some pictures!







This one will be hard to top for sure, but like Mr. Seger Said, "Here I am ... On the road again"

Thanks for looking,

-Cory

 

Looks like manufactured yesterday...and papers on top of that..
Best 145.012 I have ever seen

 

Congrats both to you and the buyer, it's a great-looking watch!

 

Looks like the kind of watch likely to trigger a bad case of seller's remorse....

 

Simply amazing. What a wonderful patina on that dial and hands. Indeed, a package worth offering an offer hard to resist.

 

ARGH!!!!

 

wow... wish i would have known this was for sale. Stunning watch. Awesome dog too!

 

Definitely one of the best example 145.012 out there. Congrats to the all parties!

 

There are many nights ahead of you where you will have regrets.

 

You must have something pretty special in mind if you are letting this go. Good luck in your search and keep us posted on your new lady.

 

Really really nice. Interesting to see it went only 6 weeks from production to sale. Pretty quick turnaround. We generally hear stories about how sometimes these sat for a year or two before sale. Cool!

 

Well, it was so nice that it sold very quickly

 

If you look closely, you can see your dog telepathically yelling "WTF man! Once it's gone, it's gone!!"

 

I will likely be one of just a few to say congrats on the sale. I have not been in this hobby long, but I will admit I enjoy the hunt as much and likely more than the pieces I have purchased. Granted I have never owned your example... But I find there is something very exciting and interesting about the hunt that you can’t replace with a purchase.

Comparing it to big game hunting, there have been years my father and I purposely avoid taking great animals on the first few days of our hunting trip, because even if we would be happy with them - the trip would be over.

Best of luck hunting down than next one hope it’s a moose!

 

Which dog???

 

Man, you guys are starting to make me second guess this ...

 

Very nice watch

 

Wow what a condition - one of the best I’ve seen too. Stunning.
Thank you for the pictures.

 

Incredible condition, what a well aged watch. I hope there's no regrets!

 

10/10 will regret, I can assure you about it. A complete set like this with perfect lume and case will only appreciate.
