    Hello I can't seem to find any news about the Speedmaster case. What I need to know if there is a way to distinguish a 1968 one with a 145.012 (321 movement) and a later 145.022 (861) are the cases the same?
    Is there any way to understand if the case (NOT the caseback of course) is really an old one and from which year?

    If not may I assume that I can use a new untouched 1980 case and fit movement (ex.321) dial, etc into it?
    Does it make sense?
    Thank you very much.
    S
