    Thank you very much for posting a picture. I will save this for reference. Now, on the straight lug speedy's, they also have the 321 movement, are they exactly the same then, or are there some small differences

    That is why this is the BEST forum and should never be mentioned in the same breath as that other place.

    There are some minor part differences in some parts in the earlier iterations of 321 and in the some in the interface between the movement and the pushers.

    This falls more into the category of don't ask questions that you may not want to hear the answer to. :D

    Lots of good advice on here. I am thinking of buying a watch that has a service dial on it, it is a dynamic from the 70s. ( I was only planning to buy one watch a year, but rules are for breaking) Is this as bad as buying a redial and should it affect the pric one would pay for the watch. I know they are cheap to buy but no one wants to overpay. I am not looking to build a collection of rare or special watches or watches that are show pieces I want ones I would want to wear everyday of the year becuase I like them, but I don t want to buy inferior models either especially when its possible to get tip top ones for a few quid more.
    all advice and opinions are appreciated.

    Service dial is always a better option than a redial unless you've got someone that can do a spot on perfect job like on the American watches that have dies still floating around.

    While it's better to have a service dial than a redial, a good 1970's Dynamic is not rare or expensive enough to justify the step down - unless you are getting it absolutely dirt cheap as a wearer. These aren't expensive watches even in very good original condition, so there's no real positive in not waiting for something better to come along.

    The only person who makes the rules for what you buy is you. Plenty of people are happy with less than pristine vintage- we just try to help by enabling the perfectionists and helping the less-than-perfectionists not to overpay ;)

    I agree with you. I need to let the dust settle and next time do a lot more homework be it buying new or vintage.. This is a lesson to any new people, take your time on the forum before you buy.

    I am a complete noob and knew by using my sound logic not to buy a redial even though I liked the look.
    Diamonds added an all...If it was $200 i woud get it for a awesome beater watch
