    Well, I did. Of course it´s like buying a lottery ticket, but I think I have a fair chance this time, that this is a winner!

    Do you see what it is (besides the obvious of course :))?

    I would bid on this one - a good candidate for a sympathetic restoration.

    We'll you might have to replace the movement......

    but it I agree in principle. I like "barn finds"

    i believe it is a 105.012

    so yes. I would bid.

    Nothing like a beat up crystal to scare away the masses. :thumbsup:

    I would have bid, but I don't know how aggressively. The suggestion of rust frightens and confuses me, esp. dial-side (7 and 8 o'clock markers, & to the upper right of the omega logo)

    How much was it? That's always going to be the deciding factor

    if around $ 2000, yes. over $ 2300 = no. rust could be a big issue here......you see it rarely on the dial and if you do, it is always bad.good luck ! kind regards. achim

    This watch has lived its life in Sweden. Rust is very seldom a factor in play in watches from here.

    @Achim: almost ANY 321 Speedy easily fetches USD 3000 on auction in Sweden, so no, it was not a price bargain...

    ...like buying a lottery ticket"

    so are you going to reveal "what it is" ?

    Ha, ha! :)

    I don´t know, since I haven´t got it yet.

    But I hope it to be a 105.012-64, a fairly rare and transitional reference. I also hope that it´ll renovate nicely. Will post again when it´s done.

    At the moment the market will pay:
    600 for the case, 1500 for the movement, and 500-700 for the dial.

    so it all depends on the state of the movement. And of course the dial, which looks ok but may be hiding some scars under that crystal!!

    I'm not so sure about the dial being ok. This watch looks like it has waterdamage.

    pitpro: you were completely right, 105.012-65 it was. Even if I was hoping for -64, a 65 will do nicely too, especially as the condition is great. The only flaw is that the horse on the back has worn down. Besides that it´s in great shape.

    The marks on the bezel look identical, so it must just be the photography and the light.
