AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Another necrothreadiac!



The difference is simple math: .010 and 1 year. Geez!

The dials appear identical but are not. The 145.022-68 is designed for the 861 movement and has shorter, thinner feet than the 321 caliber 145.012-67 dial. They are not, without adjustement, interchangeable.

I am reviving this old thread because the dial was taken out of the watch and replaced with a painted logo dial.
But the mystery remains for the dial has its original feet and they are for a 321 movement.
The T’s are closed.
The step is very light to inexistant.
It is a Singer dial.
What is this dial, what Speedmaster did it start its life in ?
This whole thing has been going on for five years, please can some expert resolve the mystery.
Kind regards.

Those feet look like they are for an 861 to me, not a 321.

That's a strange dial with such a small step.

The feet notwithstanding, the close Ts, applied logo, Pro script etc put it late 63 to early 66.

Actually it's a high Swiss Made, which suggests 63 or 64 I think.

Yes, that’s what I wanted to say, for 861 movement.

I think it’s a service dial.

For reference, 321 service dial feet:



861 transitional dial feet:



Dial shown above has 861 feet, not 321.

Could be. The high Swiss and narrow Ts are strange though.

Nice thread. Love the older raised logo, big S and R on Speedmaster with Professional designation dial. Does any 861 /1861 came with that style of dial? I know the ST1 reverse panda has those attributes and the Replica dial (3594) has the raised logo and big S and R, but no professional wording
