Dear all,
This is my first post here and I have a question that bothers me from many years. My father gave me an Omega Speedmaster that was bought from my grandfather in the sixties.
In the dial does not appears the word professional. The blogs I've checked told the Professional starts to be printed by Omega between 63 and 64.
Omega boutique in Brasil where I took the watch to cleaning and maintenance told me that my Speedmaster is a 145.012-67 Cal 321. All the information I read about my watch tells me that mine, without the word Professional, was made up to 64.
How this could be an 67?
Tks

A 145.012-67 was a professional dial. It appears that, during service, the original dial and hands were unfortunately modernized. Your dial appears to be a non professional service replacement but We would need more pics to better analysis the watch. Inside and out pics are needed.

AND WELCOME TO OF!

 

Gemini4 thanks for the prompt answer,
In fact the dial and hands where changed by the Official Omega Boutique in Brasil during the maintenance, but I kept the old ones (dial and hands) and the Dial is the same without the Professional word written. See picture attached.

Need more information here.
Need pictures of caseback inside, and outside.
Need pictures of movement.
Something is definitely off of course.
Most likely explanation is that in a service previous
to the one you had done, the dial was replaced
with whatever was on hand- the Pre-Pro.
The movement serial and caseback will help
theorize an answer for you.
They told you it's a 145.012-67, but the caseback
could have also been swapped in service with someone
elses.

 

btw that Pre Pro dial is valuable

also, reading this might be helpful

If it originally came with a pre-pro dial, shouldn't the case have straight lugs?

 

@Northernman might be interested in that older dial if you decide you want to sell it..

 

Also the bezel is a modern replacement, did you keep the old one?
