    yep, this variation : https://omegaforums.net/threads/145...hronograph-research-thread.77145/#post-981234

    But I would never pay this money (1500 USD) for this dial.

    Talking about eBay, this dial is also interesting atm : https://www.ebay.ch/itm/254558053130Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Do we have this variation covered here? Any ideas of the ref it was initially made for? I don’t think it was another 145.006 variation... upload_2020-4-5_8-40-18.gif

    yes and that’s why I have hard time to agree with the seller who listed it as a 321 dial :thumbsdown:

    The hands aren’t pointed like the earlier example in this thread, but appears kosher.

    But the sub registers aren’t radial on the eBay dial. On the one listed here, they are radial :)

    And your picture confirms this dial to be on a 145.016, so 861 :thumbsup:

    Came across a (imo) nice vintage ad of the yellow gold radial Seamaster chronograph :)

    Interesting that the chrono hand appears to be red, and different h+m handset too. Not uncommon for ad work.

    Indeed, see the Speedmaster ads from the 60s - you’ll discover some watches that didn’t exist :D

    A silly question would be: Who hasn't called dibs on this, yet? :D

    Hallo Archer,

    could you please be so kind and check if the replacement crown for FOIS Speedmaster (311.32.40.30.01.001) is actually the same as for the 145.016 / 145.006?

    Thank you!
    Best regards
