    Hi everyone,

    I posted a while back about a Mark 2 I had with an incorrect, earlier speedmaster dial from a 321.

    Even though I like the dial in the Mark 2, I felt it was time to correct the watch and get access to it.

    So I ordered some cases to put dials in - check

    I found a mark 2 dial I liked, at a good price - check

    And today I had my watchmaker switch them over, and the new dial looks a bit tropical which is nice!

    Unfortunately the dial feet were trimmed to fit an 861. Can this be repaired so that the dial will fit into a 321 movement once again?

    I'll get around to getting some better photos on the weekend, excuse my kitchen lighting :p

    Cheers,
    Ed

    Old feet could be removed and new soldered on...

    Thanks Archer for the information, is that risky?

    I don't know if I'll keep the dial for a 105.012 that needs it, or sell it to fund other things.....

    I'll sort out some better photos tomorrow :)
