Specifications aside, the Japanese Racing Dial seems to have been strongly sought after in recent days, with prices soaring. A quick Google search for the watch will reveal a number of listings on the forum where examples of the watch are listed, most recently in 2016, for around $5000. Then, add Phillips to your search and you'll find the watch selling for well over $15,000 (including buyer's premium) at a Hong Kong auction on 29 May 2018.

The problem is that if you really want a Speedy with a racing dial, the chances of coming across a black racing dial 145.012-67 are astronomical. If you think Japanese racing dials are going to Rolex Sea-Dweller Replica command a high price, Phillips twice had Speedies with black racing dials for sale and they sold for CHF 72,500 (START-STOP-RESET sale 14 May 2016) and CHF 40,000 (12-13 May 2018). The reason why the 2016 piece sold for far more is simply because it was in much better condition.
