    It's definitely still there - posted a bid on it, which got overbid immediately :D

    Really curious where this ends up, pictures are far from perfect.

    Bezel looks new, the hands possibly so.

    Hard to tell from the poor pics but the case might have been redone.

    Finally got it. How 'bout no movement pics ;-( However the scans as so bad: What difference would it make?

    Thats an interesting one.

    What colour is that dial? It shows strong reflections around the subdials, in a way i would expect not a standard black dial to do - whatever the lighting conditions.

    Is it a sunburst dial? I doubt it, but the photos really make it look like it could be a non standard dial. 50/50 for me.

    No movement or case back photos - could be anything, an 861, a lemania, a junker, or a perfect 321.

    Worth a gamble, how much will depend on what people think it really is.....

    My money is a standard 105.003 with a dire need of a service, probably serviceable 321 movement.

    Hands look fine to me, the seconds hand is well patinated. Dial is seemingly turning slightly brown. The case is... Sharp.

    It's a T Swiss Made T dial, possibly grey, and most likely a 105.003. The condition is lovely...

    Condition lovely? How can you see! I cannot.

    I processed the photo, and after correction by balancing the colour so the background is nearly white, I think it is a standard black dial.

    Those shiny parts bother me. I have seen dials "polished" waxed or oiled....

    If you can live with the replaced bezel and possibly relumed hands, the dial is lovely and the case is sharp.

    I have a 2998 grey dial that has pretty much the same effect. If this one is actually black is not bad either. My feeling is this one is a winner.

    How interesting, can you post a pic of the grey dial?

    I am a sucker for odd dials....

    Thank you!

    I bet it looks even better under glass.

    I do like a dial with a bit of character....as long as I'm not being asked the price of a minter!

    It really makes a difference, you're right, i was thinking of having it re lumed, but i can live with it as is too.
    This is not the first time i saw a grey one. I googled today but couldn't find any, but i'm sure i've seen at least a couple more.
    Do you have any in your Speedy stash or have you seen any before ?

    The seller has updated his eBay offering, he had the back opened, it's a 105.003-65.
    He also mentions an original bracelet.
    Announced additional pictures.
