Dial question.

[Exxet]

Hello!
My first question here, and sorry for the bad pic, it's not taken by me, kindly stolen from an ad, the watch is supposed to be a -65, i'm a noob regarding Speedy's but if i say this is a service dial am i totally wrong or?
guess the hands are correct but new.
Thanks in advance.Thommy.

And the bezel?

And the bezel?

Did'nt ask cos it's pretty obvious, not a D O N, so my quallyfied newbie guess is it's perhaps a mid -90 bezel, maybe dial, hands and bezel was swapped then.

No, but there is also much more to it than just the dial. Have you looked at many -65s? If not, you can use this example as a starting point of what to look for. Plenty of detailed pics to look through:

Thanks for the link. That is one good looking watch! Sharp lines and great warm tritium.

Lovely watch but unfortunately my pockets aren't that deep, and i'm not specialy looking for a -65, it was just a curious question, so it's a service dial then? probably ending up with a 861 from the 80-ties, but i can hope for a car boot sales find of an 60-ies.

Dial and hands are the most importend pieces for me, don't fancy shiny and new parts, with an exception for movement parts though.

By the way, just found this: https://www.swisslimitededitions.co...ised-logo-c-321-pre-moon-dial-105-012-145-012
looks very similar.
And thanks for links.

I was just giving you quality material to study if you were after this specific reference.

so it's a service dial then?

And just about everything else as well

A service dial. Swisslimitededitions are just a reseller of parts they acquired.

An other dial question: I've seen a couple of 65-68 Speedys with a non pro dial and painted logo, is that legit or okey?
Thanks in advance.

You should show photos, there are many different types of "Speedy". As far as I know, a Speedmaster Professional (e.g. 105.012 or 145.012 or 145.022) should never have a non-professional dial.

OP: A member here has put together some outstanding pages regarding various iterations of the Speedmaster. Here’s a link to his discussion of the 105.012-65:

There’s a lot of great information in the various assessment guides, and I still go back to them often.

I can think of only a couple of exceptions and those are vanishingly rare. The Racing variant was seen with a non Pro dial from the factory and slightly more suspect are the Soleil dials, again I think some of those are non-Pro but I don't personally believe they left the factory in watches. The Apollo Soyuz also has no Pro text but that one is more obvious. Exxet if any of the Pros you find with these non Pro dials, be sure to give me a call!

I guess this was an answer to my first question though.

that dial isn’t original. The listing even says so.
