Just for the pleasure of sharing this recent catch: Ref 105.012-65 ...
... from circa 1966. Considering its serial number, I guess this watch is in the transition from 105.012-65 to 105.012-66.
It came fitted with a wrong bracelet but in very nice condition ref 1116 with 575 end links correspond to later reference 145.012. I think will replace it with the new Forstner JB replica soon.
Case (made by Hueguenin) and 321 movement is in great shape but needs a cleaning and oiling soon.
Have a nice Speedy day my friends! Abel.
