I was hoping to get positive confirmation from the expertise within the forum that my 145.022 69 ST, serial number 305***** would have come with a step dial, and only a step dial, from the factory. It currently sports a flat dial, and I'm being told that it is, in fact, correct for my vintage.

Thanks for your insight.

 

Yes it should definitely have a step dial. Flat is incorrect.

 

Photo of said flat dial?

-Does it have the short and open S in Speedmaster?
-Does it have "T SWISS MADE T" at the bottom? (T's are important)

 

Yes dial is incorrect, as are the hour and minute hands.

 

Poor photos. I know that the hands are incorrect, as well. I'm going to have to source a set of correct hands, as well as a period step dial. I just wanted to confirm what was necessary to make it all complete.

 

Are you looking to buy it or do you own it?

 

I already own it (I have for a few years). I also have an '85 Speedmaster that I wear most days.

 

The dial's for a 3590.50, mid-1990s, and is way incorrect. Who's telling you it shouldn't be a stepped dial?

 

Mid 90's dial I believe. drop S non drop r.

 

Nobody on the forum is telling me this dial is correct. It's someone with just enough experience to have an opinion.

 

Ah, OK. Thought the seller, or (worse) a watchmaker was giving you that information.

 

Step dial went through 145.022-74 so there is that...

Hands massively wrong also.

The more you know

 

Yes, thanks. I think the hands are off of a Mk 2 Speedmaster.

 

At least you have a nice bezel
