    Hi all! Considering throwing out a late bid for this local speedy, I kind of like the 'meteorite' DON... what do you reckon?

    I think it's attractive as well. Needs a movement shot

    Thought it would be a nice match up for my 145.012--67, which was produced at the end of '68

    Not bad. I personally would hold out for something with a better case-back, but you could do worst than a transitional at the proper price.

    Worthwhile or not all depends on what bidding ends up to be!

    Looks good to me. My 1964 straight lug has made a great beater over the past 19 years and especially when I am indulging in fun of the two wheel kind!

    Just a heads up that the pics on this listing are about two and a half years old. I know because they're my pics :)

    @tjoy89 thanks dude! Always comforting to know! I'll shoot the seller a quick message to get some photos of the 'actual' watch

    Hahah, I was gonna drop a 10k bid to win it and insist on face to face with cash...hahha....there is a certain satisfaction to be had by rumbling scammers. Just smoked one out on an audio trading site I use....lowlifes!!

    Watch is back up, seller stated he ended the auction early as there was an issue that he discovered and wanted to either get it serviced or sell as is (fishy)...new photos it appears @tjoy89 ,now I'm confused, does he actually have this watch in his possession?? Also strangely enough I'm blocked from bidding...:cool: guess he doesn't want a cash face to face transaction...

    I should have expanded when I posted before. Seller is certainly not a scammer, he was just using my old pictures for his listing. He bought the watch from me.

    Ahhhh...that makes sense now and somewhat of a glaring omission I must say, considering your original post makes things sound decidedly fishy...anyway, onwards and upwards :D
