anecdotally, around $30K, though there was one last year on ebay that went for 12,500. All depends on condition as these dials are known (well, observed) to deteriorate in unique ways - generally with the lume spreading out over the hour plots.

Very interesting. I would have thought more.
It's true that we don't even know what they are exactly...

Hi folks,
Happy to be new and reading this thread about my watch 😀
This is indeed a family gift, I received it from my father, who received it from his former step-brother. The former step-brother didn't use this one (I think he had some rollex watches and wasn't interested in this one and gave it to my father, as far as I know).
I am honnestly not interested neither willing to sell my watch. The emotional value is much higher as prices I've read. The reason I am doing research with the help of very few people is quite simple, I try to find out more about my father's past, because some years ago he has had a stroke and now it's quite difficult to have a conversation with him. I told him about this research and have made the promess not to sell it. If it turns out to be a metallic dial, I'll try to find someone trustable in order to have the inner parts reviewed and if needed replaced by the original ones.
Once the research will be ended, I will give an update and post some new pictures...
Take care and hopefully 'till soon with more news...

What would you like to know?

I think these are from a very narrow date range 67-69 I think.

At present what I think @eldehen needs to know is what this watch is. It looks like a metallic. But not 100% sure yet, and is it blue, or a grey if so? Serial number is currently unknown. Movement unseen. And I don’t know enough to feel confident about saying which other parts are, or are not correct. Hence call for help in other thread. N.

I can pretty much guarantee from those pictures it is a blue metallic dial. They are rare, and this one looks very nice. I would definitely keep it, not only for sentimental reasons but also because I think the value of these is likely to increase

Welcome to Omega Forums @eldehen ... that's a rather spectacular way to say "hello". Amazing timepiece, so rare, that will be something you can hand down and hopefully tell a long and rich story of family history when doing so. 👍

Thank you very much for your careful analysis.
Is there any place I can get more info about the "third type of blue dials"? I still have to fix some meetings with people I can trust - at least according to omegaforums, where trusting means "I see and take pictures of what you do with my watch" - but any additional information is welcome...
Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi folks,
Sorry for late news... Since I wasn't able to take the good pictures to have the watch certified a 'blue dial', and due to burglary in my area, I have been to a luxury jewelry shop and asked to have my watch reviewed... He confirmed it was a 145012-67 SP speedy, with a 321 callibre, all pieces seemed to be ok (except the seconds indicator), with a 26554889 serial number (build around '68 or '69?); the bracelet is a 1171/633 model. His assumptions were that this model is more recent as the watch, but if he reminded well, this brace model started to be made in 1969; so if the watch was build in '69, maybe it was shipped with it. Oh, he also confirmed it's a metallic dial (very probably grey), in good health 😀
The archive has been ordered, so hopefully I'll get soon some more news/history about my watch's and familial history 😀
