Actually, on second look, there is quite a,bit that's not perfect.....aka....wrong

How can he call that 'new without tags' when it has multiple scratches on the underside of the lugs, and a big dent on the bezel which is a newer replacement anyway 😵‍💫

X350 XJR · Apr 11, 2015

Bracelet is a newer replacement as well.

There's a lot wrong with that one but really the '68 isn't rare its just less common than '67s there are dozens of 145.012-68 owners on here

In a quick search, I have only been able to locate (OF and the net) 145.012-68 pieces with movement numbers from 26552xxx - 26554xxx, a range of 3,000 available movements. I think they are very rare. Other members have commented that the 145.012-68 production is one of the smallest in number of any 321 pieces. They are also the last Speedie's to use the 321 movement and they come up for resale infrequently

That may or may not be true, however this one has far too many issues to be particularly collectable regardless.

gemini4 · Apr 11, 2015

Unfortunately true. It is a poor, overly priced, example

Absolute rubbish

Absolute rubbish

I wouldn't call this garbage. In no way do I defend the seller's gross misstatements regarding the watch being "new" and "flawless" however, IMHO, the movement number, dial, case, caseback and even the hands appear to be correct.

Fazmaster · Apr 12, 2015

I agree agree with most here. Grossly misrepresented and not worth the premium. It's a 145.012 period. The only difference is the -68. It has no other features that set it apart from other 145.012s. The only thing my example (left) had was a chocolaty dial and (sigh) the later bezel. The 145012-67 on the right.

Cheers,

Cheers

well there's only the difference of the -68. But then again it's supply and demand. And they are quite rare in my opinion. I still miss one and I will keep searching for an example in good condition (and I know I will pay more than for a "common" -67).

justintime · Apr 12, 2015

Sorry I meant the price was not good watch is ok ish but should be 3500-4000 USD in my humble opinion

gemini4 · Apr 12, 2015

Yesterday, I sent an EB message to the seller asking him to elaborate on his description of this watch. So far, like the old Beatles song, no reply.

I agree with more. But the premium asked here is double than the going price of a -67.

The seller responded to my EB message regarding his listing. He is now aware that the bezel, bracelet and description are wrong and appears very reasonable.😀

"Hi, I've updated the description but not the price on reflection there is quite a high number of watchers. "

dsio · Apr 12, 2015

Meh it can sit then, nobody's that stupd

Civic4982 · Apr 12, 2015

I wish there was a more close up shot of the whole dial. Something seems off about it but there's just the one small portion of it that can be assessed close up.

Joe K. · Apr 12, 2015

Hmmm... I am not sure you a correct on that assumption....😗

I saw peel off markers and this should do effect price somehow .
Rare ? but lack of charm on dial ....This should be think over and over for whatever go above USD 3,000 ( even though inside is 321 )
..IMO.
