In Response To: Re: and another picture.. *PIC* ()

: here is one of the dial

: juko

Thanks for posting the pic!

From most of the posts of 105.012's I've seen on the web, the tell tale points would be:

1) Double angle caseback
2) T SWISS MADE T - smaller/shorter than the 145.012's print which has the T's under the 23, 32 sec. markers.
3) Chrono pusher size smaller than the 145.012's.
4) Some 105.012's have a case lug similar to the pic I posted, wherein the lugs are angled (4:30, 7:30, 10:30, 1: 30 )instead of having a smooth curved transition.

But, I've also seen posts of 105.012s similar to Juko's.

This leads me to conclude that Omega probably used whatever was convenient & available during their transition from the 105.012 to 145.012 models.

Furthermore, is there really a difference between the two models aside from the numbers printed inside the caseback?

Comments anyone?

Thanks!

Bryant
