First note is that I replaced the black dial that came with the watch and placed this tropical one I had in stock. Tropical dials are expected in 1970 dials an earlier, till the beginning of the Speedmaster production. By 1978 dials remained black. But as the watch came with a very nice looking faded blue bezel and a great case, I thought of the look before correction. 39 millon movement working fine. Band correct for the period. It looks just amazing. usd 4,500 + shipping Based in Miami, many refs. IWJG member.
