··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI'm guessing (and this is just a guess) that at some point the wrong rehaut/tension-ring was installed, and damaged the outer part of the dial. Seems like a reasonable conjecture given the way that only the outer part of the text is removed. In the end, it doesn't matter. It's clear to see that the text was originally present, it's just some minor damage.
Yes, ad now the crystal in the watch doesn't appear to even have a tension ring in it...

·Since omega has started making the 321 movement again, parts should be easy to obtain from Omega, unless the parts for the new movement don't fit an old movement. Simply a thought

I think the issue is whether omega chooses to sell these movement parts. So far it seems they are trying to preserve the 321 mystique and restrict parts availability.

Unfortunately not. Omega isn't selling these new movement parts to anyone.

·Thanks for the reply Michael.
This looks like a good way to move forward when I find out what Omega say about the watch.

Apparently the dial is possibly a different colour and the markers are more orange than other Speedmasters. I took a pic in the sun for anyone that’s interested.
