·Surprising and confusing news... Brought my speedy in to a watch repair shop and the repairwoman said the spots were from normal aging, so no water damage, phew.
However, my watch apparently has an 866 movement, not an 863. Weren't 866s limited in production? How does that even work when 866s run moon phase watches, not speedy pros? I'm hoping she was just out of it and read the fine print wrong w her loupe.
Here are some pics of the movement. If anyone could clarify, that'd be much appreciated.

Can't tell by your photos, but the caliber will be noted under the rim of the balance wheel. Likely an 863 rather than an 866.
