·I finally got my watch opened and had a close look with a magnifier. I could clearly see an 8 which means a 25.8M movement.
I tried to take a macro picture that you can see below.
According to @speedy4ever (MWO author) 25.8M can't be a caliber 321. So what to conclude? Fake caliber ? 😕

·Numbers seems strange and different from the type used on my 321 caliber 24.951.XXX...
Is it usual to observe different fonts according to caliber parts furnishes ?

·Maybe it's a 0 but the movement is not for a Speedmaster.
[Edit: I think it's an 8.]

··Vintage Omega AficionadoAnd while this is an interesting exercise in visual acuity it seems that it is an incorrect serial for the speedmaster in question no matter what the number is.

·Well, unfortunately your research will end here. At least with the help of omega. As long as you do not send a picture of the correct watch referring to the serial to Omega, they will not issue you with an extract.

I wonder if I should try to find why I have 25.8m in my 145.012-67 or just ask for a refund or finally it is not a big deal as it seems to be period correct.

It's a very big deal, these aren't watches of a couple hundred euros. I'd seriously advise you to get a refund ASAP if that is possible. If the dealer is as 'trusted' as you say, then he shouldn't have a problem doing what's right, especially if it's a recent purchase.
There are loads of correct 145.012's out there and trying to sell this one down the line will not be easy if you want to see anything like your purchase price back again.
Of course if this issue was priced in when you bought it (?) then it's another story

·There have been blank bridges circulating lately. I am afraid that could be one of them reengraved with whatever serial... 🙁 I don’t like the way those numbers have been placed there.

·Maybe it received a replacement bridge from a 320 cal? - Does the serial match a 320 cal watch?
But yeah, probably best to ask for a refund

I paid a normal (higher than average) price for the watch, thanks to it general condition. See below :
