    Hi guys,
    Where do you source your speedmaster dials?
    Because i'm in trouble finding the right one, because I need a dial for a transitional speedmaster 145.022 for 861 with a stepped dial, normally with painted logo since it's a 29XXXX, a late 69 or early 70...
    here is the watch:

    I search on Ofrei and Cousin UK, but nothing at all.

    Thank's for the advice

    If you are looking for the correct vintage replacement dial (stepped plus tritium lume) then you won't find them in any of these distributors - you have to buy these used on ebay. And it also looks like omega is no longer supplying the 861 dials closest to the original so unless there is old stock you are out of luck there. But you might try watchco on ebay since they might still have stock of the later replacement dial.

    I was watching an auction for a transitional dail for a 1968 Speedmaster a few weeks ago. I was an orginal never installed 861 stepped dial, raised logo, and tritium markers. It had +25 bids and sold for +$1300. Good luck on the hunt.

    1300 dollars!:eek:
    No way that's even more than what I paid for the whole watch!
    Patience must be the key::book::

    This one is nice but is for the 321 movement. From all I have read they are not interchangable because of the pin depth and width. The OP needs it for the 861 which is going to be tough, but not impossible, to find as a stand along part. It would probably be a tall order to modify the pins without damaging the front of the dial.

    Here is the transitional dial I was watching. It would work but has the raised logo. Turns out the very gratious $1000 offer to sell it to me was a great deal that I stupidly passed on.

    Too bad , yes I just noticed it was for a 145.0012. I was thinking it was a 0022.
