Early Speedmaster MkIIIa ST176.002 with Pulsations bezel

Here's my latest Omega!
A metallic blue dial ST176.002 Speedmaster MkIIIa non-Professional, and a Pulsations bezel.
I did a search on Google, but cannot find another MkIIIa with a Pulsations bezel, yet the Omega Vintage Database does state that this model came with 4 bezel variations.
From Chuck Maddox's classic writeup Speedmaster Mark Series, I understand the non-Professional is the earlier variant, but it's not easy to find a blue dialled non-Professional - most of the earlier non-Professionals I can find are the black dial variants.
So is this a rare, early, blue dialled non-Professional with a rare Pulsations bezel, or do I have some kind of franken?
Does anyone else have a blue dialled non-Professional MkIIIa, or one with a Pulsations bezel???

nice MKIII ....😀

i dont know how long Omega equipped the MKIII's with the non Prof. Dials. But i think it was only a short time.
Same thing with the bezel. Standart was the Tachy and if specially ordered it came with de tele, pulso or de decimal bezel.

i have 2 MKIII non prof. one with the telemeter and one with the decimal bezel and one pulso bezel is in the spare parts box😉

Beautiful pair, Incabloc!!
My MkIII has serial number 34241xxx.
Would that be consistent with a non-Prof MkIII?
Would you be willing to share the serial numbers of your 2 MkIIIs?

thank you....

no problem but i have only the serial from the blue one that was in Biel for Service, it is 342406..
the silver one i can not open, the Caseback is to tight and dont want to damage it.

Wow your blue MkIII is stunning.
The pristine case - is that original or after Biel servicing?

thank you...😀

the Case was refurbished during the service in Biel

Back with a new crystal!!! 🤩 👍
