I believe those long S dials were around in the late ‘80s so your watch could be from 1988 or 1989 and still be sold in 1991. I hadn’t noticed before that your one subdial hand was loose in the case and the crystal is cracked. Nothing that can’t be fixed but I just hope there isn’t any significant damage that the seller didn’t report. I’d avoid getting it serviced by Omega because they’ll likely give you a service dial and hands

Your dial is the same as my 145.022 serial 48274408, which ilovemyspeedmaster dates to May 1991. Mind you the only way to be sure of actual production date is to get an Omega Archive Extract. There is always going to be some transition between executions, with watch production older parts are always used up before moving onto new, it's a business after all.
Vintage Heuers are a minefield like that, you often get watches with a mixture of dials and hands as parts crossed over in production. I have a Carrera 1153N bought from the original owner who never had it serviced. It has first execution hands and dial, second execution bezel and Calibre 12 not the 11 as you would expect. Does not fit either execution but it came out the factory that way.

Thanks, sounds right and my warranty card is dated 1991. Well when it arrives I will check and confirm the serial number. I will update you all then. This is definitely interesting and when I bought the watch I am sorry to say, I didnt notice the difference in the dial text until afterwards.

FWIW I would not be let it bother you, the long S and R text I reckon dates back at least to the late '70s, gives a little more vintage appeal to me.
Below is the dial on my other Speedmaster, a 145.022-76 produced late 1976.

It's your decision, but risky with regards to the hands and dial. BTW you can buy a bracelet from Omega without having to get a service done, so unless they are offering it to you at no charge, this is no deal...

Have @Archer service it, You will get a service better than Omega at a much more reasonable price and he wont fυck up your watch with something you dont want as Omega does.
