Hi everyone
Could somebody help me when this watch was made?
And maybe a price estimation?
Thank you

I may as well say it before those that really know:
Clear scans of, the dial, bezel, inside of the case back and movement. Maybe the inside of the bracelet clasp and end clip numbers.

With this poor pics, I only see a stepdial and possibly a 1116 bracelet.
Could it be a 145.022-69ST?
But as stated, the experts need better pics (and I am no expert at all)!

Made sometime between late 1967 and late 1969. It could be one of 3 models and use one of 2 movements. The AML suggests it isn’t a 144.022-69, it is earlier. The spear chrono hand suggests 145.012-67 but it may have been changed of course.

I'd bet my wife's cat it's a 145.012 67. Looks to be unmolested. Very nice patina on the dial. If it was inherited, you did well. No way to know the value, but it's likely worth at least 7 or 8k usd. I'd also guess you have gotten a few messages behind the scenes already. Find out more about it before selling it to anyone.

I'm going to say it was in a drawer for a very long time. It appears to be quite dirty. Just cleaning the outside will make it look much better.

Based on the case and pushers, it's a 105.012-66 CB. But we need to see the inside to know that everything is correct.

I suspect that members might be more inclined to be helpful if the OP took the time to introduce himself and explain the background for his questions. We're really not a drive-by evaluation and assessment service.

That back isn't from a 105 anything. Maybe it is molested after all. It's lum aged more like a 105, though. If I lose my wife's cat, I'll be in the dog house.

I heard there were a few of the lastest of these with the later case back but have never owned one. If that is true, it must be a 105.012 66 as noted by Dan below and worth more than the estimate I made before. I've been away from watches for quite a well. I swung and missed on this one.

Why do you say that? Don't all 105.012-66 models have a single-step back? Maybe you are seeing something more subtle.

It’s not a 145.022. I mean there are a few hundred that look like that but statistically it’s a 321 movement.

+1 it's a 105.012-66 CB. Double-bevel case back was made until 105.012-65. Sharp CB case, fat neck pushers. Most of this reference were made in 1967.

It’s worth a heck of a lot of money.

you need an expert to open it without leaving any marks to know exactly what it is and how much it is worth.

I see CB case facets, so....
Yep I missed that and was swayed by the 1116 which is a little later than the head. I agree, its most likely a CB -66. Or a bitsa of course.

I think this is it, but a pic of the movement is needed. It is probably worth between $10K and $15K, my guess.

Wow, the OP certainly got a good deal out of his post - much detailed analysis and valuations 😉

What’s the plan, OP?

I just checked and there are 18 on Chrono24, 16 of them range from $10K to $15K, one for $19K and one for $35K, this last one doesn't make sense to me, not even full set, it nice but not to justify x2 or x3 the price.

I bought one last year for $15K.

This example is probably on the lower range. Pics are not good, it needs to be cleaned and serviced.
