The 105.012 is notable for being the first asymmetrical case with shoulders protecting the crown and pushers. Buzz Aldrin was wearing this case style a month prior to the "Ed White". This writer regrets that he purchased a 105.012 once for US $250. One would expect to spend around PS15,000.
In 1966, two casemakers La Central Boites (Hueguenin Freres) produced the cases for 105.012 watches. The watches produced by the former have an extra step at the top of the lugs, which is often accidentally polished during service.
The 145.012 was made between 1967 and 1968. It is the last Audemars Piguet Replica Watches that uses the Calibre 321, column wheel-activated chronograph movement. The 145.012 is distinguished from the 105.012 due to its larger chrono pushers. This is the last Speedmaster to have luminous markers running the entire length of the minute track. From a price point of view, this is the 321 equipped reference that would be most appealing to a new collector. Estimates range between 27,000. and 28,000. units.(Replica Watches)
The "Racing Dial", so called because of its colorful chapter ring, is one of the most mysterious Speedmasters. It dates back to 1967-1969. Petros' response when asked about the numbers will pique any collectors of unusual models. Replica Breguet Watches's Speedmaster Sage admitted, "Officially we don't know." We can trace almost every Speedmaster, but not always the dial that the watch had when it was first manufactured.
Petros explains that it was a product of the time. In the late 1960s, exotic dials appeared on many watches. "A modernisation of a reference," he says.Sinn Replica It never had its own model number, instead leaving the factory with the racing dial. However, this was compounded when Replica Breguet Watches discovered that some Speedmaster orders placed by certain retailers could have been supplied with two dials. The client could choose between the standard dial and the flamboyant dial.
Daniel Somlo believes that there are only 20 of these models, but Petros thinks that the number could be in the hundreds. Phillips sold a model on 12 May, for CHF40,000. This is just over twice the estimate.
The legendary Ultraman watch, featured in the Japanese TV show The Return of Ultraman, was also a highly coveted version of the 145.012. The orange chronograph second hand of 18.80mm makes it unique. Ultramans are among the rarest Speedmasters. The movement numbers usually range from 26.076.8xx up to 26.079.7xx. We would advise against purchasing any watch that does not have an Replica Breguet Watches archive extract stating it is an Ultraman.
