    Hey guys,

    just pulled the trigger on a straight lug Speedy.
    Based on the pictures, can you tell wich reference it is? Dial is a service dial as are the hands. Bezel seems to be a DON :). Can't wait to have a Cal. 321 Speedy :) Thanks in advance.

    Nico

    Need to see under the hood to see how correct it is.

    Edit: Pushers might be 4.5mm Ed White size so a 105.003 is a possibility.

    Double edit: The dial could be correct for 861 caliber so it's anyone guess what the inside shall reveal.

    Well without movement pictures how do you even know that it's a Cal 321 movement inside?

    Fair question! I hope its a 321 inside. Regarding the story of the seller, it seems the grandfather ones serviced the watch. He also will look at the attic of his parents. He remembers there was a Omega box. Cross fingers that there are also the missing service parts hidden.
    Price was less than 4 figures ;)

    :eek: Then I'd say you've done well regardless as the bezel alone is worth more than you've paid already.

    Come on, if someone is capable to put an item online, should be capable of doing some research, right? Also the watch is not running and he sold it as defect.

    Agreed. If it was advertised by a seller and you got there first. No issues at all.

    Its probably got some japanese replacement no-name-brand quartz movement inside (and the battery is dead, hence 'defect') ;)

    ::popcorn::

    Looking forward to the reveal :thumbsup:

    I'm wagering the movement is a correct 321 with an 861 dial pasted to it.

    Sounded like a good gamble less than four figures [emoji23]

    321 or not you just nailed this. Nicely executed.

    Would you answer this question if you just got a Speedmaster for less than $1000?

    It is most likely a 1970s 321 service dial with short indices...they made them.

    Shouldn't it have an applied metal logo then?
