    I posted in the modern section and thought I’d post in the vintage section too.
    I bought this without the bezel and insert and will source one in the future to complete it.
    It’s in pretty decent condition for a 46 year old watch, it runs ok considering it was last serviced in the 90s!
    I’m not overly familiar with Speedmasters but I think everything is as it should be.

    It has a later bracelet but dial appears correct for a -74 serial

    Well done, congrats ! :thumbsup:

    The correct bezel is not exactly easy to find nowadays in a good condition. When/if you start hunting for one drop me a PM - I think I still have spares.

    Interesting lume. The -74 and -76 with this dial generally don’t turn yellow.

    My -74 is def more greenish but interesting to see samples like this with more of a yellowish tone. Good job getting a nice watch :thumbsup:

    Yellow lume on My -74 which I sold to fund a 321-one. It was nice! Congrats @Loupe73 to a beautiful watch :)

    I wasn’t saying it was wrong. @kov yours is more what I expect. It also has nice even application. The OP’s looks like earlier dials with not as even an application of lume.

    Imnot saying it is wrong just unexpected.

    Thanks for the comments guys.
    Yes the Lume does look pretty yellow compared to the hands, here’s a couple pics more to show the colour.
