Has anyone ever seen a 145.005-67 Seamaster cal. 321 with this type of dial before?

The website selling it is here:

http://www.finertimes.com/asp/watches/buyitnow.asp?Where=(Ref='rxvi0516')&Step=1

I have never, and compounding my confusion, there appears to be another vintage model with a very different case but the same dial and hands. I wonder if the one with the more standard case (on the website) is perhaps a combination of another watch's dial/hands with a 145.005 case?

Would appreciate the forum wisdom on this one, thanks!

The second is not the same design. I would classify it as part of the Speedmaster companion line I named back in 2003 because of some time only models with Speedmaster like dial designs (there were also a couple of Seamaster 300 models also).

Here's one that I owned. Although yours is a chrono. it still have some of the Speedmaster attributes. Mainly the indexes and double dots at 12:00

I originally thought this might be a franken like you described above, but I guess there are at least two of them so maybe not...

That one has on TZ for quite some time. The seller seems like a decent guy and I believe his description after chatting with him.

It's a nic looking little seamaster, though there are issues that he discloses.

I have almost bought it several times, but then..... ooooh, something shiney!

From AJTT:

This is the same as the second photo with the cushion case 145.006. I don't have I formation on the 145.005.

The weird thing is the applied logo that looks more than 68/69 which would match a 361. Neve saw this before.

It would be nice to recase it in the proper case, no?

Which is the proper case? 145.005 or 006?

sorry just edited... I have no answer... it does not like a franken. Why cas a 321 in a later case. It meaningless.

Another example surfaced but condition is not so good (wrong chrono hand and crown and one pusher)

@kov DIBS on yours 😉
