I thought the dial on '76 reference had the long 'S' in Speedmaster

So an update

Simon Freese just returned the -76 and told me two things.
First the dial is one of the cleanest he has seen, and that to my surprise the hands are tritium - a UV test proved that. It is just they are in very clean condition - as is the whole watch.

Wow, would not have expected the trituim hands to be that bright! My 1971 Speedy is fully original, but you can easily tell that the hands are tritium and not superluminova.
