·Better and more complete pictures will help for sure.
But it looks like your watch will be in the upper range of the price chart.
glad you post it here!

·I don't know the value, as it could very much be a pretty large range depending on how/where you sell it. Hand set looks a bit off compared to the rest of the watch. Good luck. Are you in USA?

·Very nice watch Dutch, it should end up selling quite well from what I can see. Oh, one other important thing: don't do anything to the watch at this point, leave it exactly as is, anything at this point will just devalue it.
I see a hand engraving on one of the back lugs of the watch, looks to be "7182"... is there a story to tell on that? I don't think it impacts value at all, in fact, its part of the history and personality of the watch and is best preserved and carried with the watch. I'd recommend you write down everything you can remember about the watch and pass that along to the eventual new owner.

Very good advise.
You don't need to service it or clean it up. Anyone buying it will prefer it as is.
If you were going to wear it and keep it, then it would need oiling the movement. But if selling, the buyer will want to see it as is to see tge condition. Like old furniture on Antiques Roadshow, don't try to clean it up. Leave the scratches and dirt.
You will likely need to open the caseback to show the movement. There is a serial number on it that helps identify it. To do this, you will need to find a watchmaker or someone with experience who will not scratch the watch.
Very excited for you.

·congrats on that beautiful 105.012-66 speedy. it's good that you posted for advices here in OF. you can never be wrong. aside the mint condition of your watch, you have the provenance to prove your first historical ownership. that counts a lot. with the suggested prices by our fellow members here, don't be afraid to ask for more if ever you and your wifey decide to sell it. 😉👍😗

·You should be in the 20k plus range. Maybe even upper 20s.
It's natural to get excited seeing a one-owner watch. But let's go slowly, look closely at the condition, and make sure we are giving the OP accurate numbers. I'm sure he would appreciate honesty and it doesn't benefit anyone if he has unrealistic expectations. Obviously the condition of the watch is not 100% consistent with the OP's comments, so again, let's slow down.

I second that. Even the 20k might not work in the moment. And it might not be of interest to high class auction houses. The international market has changed. If you can, sell it inside the USA. Insurance and international shipping can be a nightmare, if you are not experienced in doing so. Short additional question : if you press the pusher at 4 o'clock, does the lower 12 hour counter hand reset to 12 ?

·Point taken. If it is as stated.
Here is an excellent watch with papers for comparison:

·There can also be a big gap between what somebody wants and what they actually get. Sold prices are the only thing to go by.

·Beautiful watch! Love this reference model. As a Dutchy I am particularly interested in the Dutch history of your watch 😀.
