The watch I had found for the Shop is an extremely nice Speedmaster, and I described it in the listing here as a 145.012 based on three elements that I will illustrate below. Watch lovers legitimately asked us for an explanation, so in this article I wish to address what happened and how we already fixed it, in full transparency, because this is exactly what we stand for at HODINKEE.

However, lastВ week we вЂ“ or more exactly I вЂ“ made a mistake in one of the listings, the vintage Speedmaster that was sold out within minutes of the launch. Over the past weeks, we have offered close to 60 watches on the Shop, and you've loved them.
