Thoughts on this Speedmaster 105.012-66 for sale - asking price 11,450€

Does it meet the collector grade as per price chart on Speedmaster101?

Thoughts?

I think it's a fine example. To me, Everything seems original, correct. Movement number is right for a 105.012-66. Bezel is near 100%. Dial (wide TTs), hands, crown, pushers look original and very nice. Great lume. A mark at 2 o'clock appears to be on the crystal. 1039/516 could be original for a late 105.012. Bracelet is long as well. No need to source extension links. Case appears to be not overpolished. Not serviced however.

 

I feel like I already saw this watch this week. Bulange will stick by its sales. I'd like to see non color balanced picture to see how the hand lume looks vs the dial.

 

Very, very nice watch. Case looks good also.

 

Was looking at this watch earlier as well J! Bulang always presents their watches really well, even a normal watch can look a million dollars with their watch photography.

But I'm sure that this watch will still appear to be a great example even without those fancy photos and at a pretty fair price, considering it's coming from a prominent dealer. Though it is not serviced, the speedmaster101 price is for head only, that bracelet would worth some pretty penny by itself. So that price still falls somewhere in between "Good" and "Collector" range.

 

Behnard at Bulang is a great gentleman and business person. I've inquired a couple times on some nice pieces along with multiple straps and other watch assessories purchases before.

I recommend you drop him a line and he will be more than happy to clearly describe his watches along with a price.

 

That's a really nice one. Collector grade would be a virtually untouched example, IMO, and this one shows a little wear on the caseback and lugs. That said, the dial/hands are perfect, bracelet is in great shape, and the wear is honest. Won't find many better examples than this one.

 

Pretty much what I was thinking

 

Very nice watch but you would be paying a very top price

 

Lume on hands does not seem to match lume on dial.

It's an optical illusion, lume on the white hands always look brighter than the markers on the black dial.
