As I sublime further into the secret world of Obsessive and Secretive Speedmaster Illuminati Collectors, I finally got my hands on these, which frankly cost more than I care to share, in terms of time, travel and money.

Two of the rarest dials seen on 1960's speedmasters, some of which many have never seen before. The grey soleil is not a blue soleil, and it is a soleil not matte grey like the others I have seen. Extraordinary.

These two account for why I have sold a few watches recently, and why I shall be selling one or two more.

 

Left... beautiful. The dial almost looks like it has a silver sheen to it. Bezel is nearly pristine!

 

Breathtaking..how the hell did you get hold of them?

 

Man those dark sunbursts are sublime. If I may ask is that the one you just got? Or did you get a blue on also?

Ahh your the one that got that blue handed subdial one. Is there a consensus on originality on that one? It's looks so perfect on it.

 

Beautiful. Especially that racing dial. Well done.

 

Whew. Tremendous. And grail gets thrown around quite often, but these two certainly fit the bill.

 

Sweet baby Jesus! Those are to die for... Congrats! Hoping to get my hand on racing dial 2004 version one day (as original will never be in my price range)

 

Lovely! Is there a reason (or theory) for the blue subdial hand on the Racing?

 

105.003 and 145.022?
Outstanding whatever they are.

 

Wow.

 

That racing dial is just wonderful. Congratulations.

 

sexiest dial on an 105.003 i ever did see.

 

If there's anyone who deserves to own these pair, its you W! Congratulations and thanks again for all your contributions to the community!
