·A chap down the road from me bought his in 1970 or '71 for £125 so you're about right re the price.
Edit: but his isn't a cal. 321 -- yours is much more special!
PRICE:
Well @Revo, I'm not sure exactly how much an Omega Speedmaster Professional would have cost, brand new, between 1967 and 1970. My Dad didn't buy the watch brand new. Not sure where he got it, but he did spend a fair bit of time at London (UK), Greyhound Racing tracks, in the 1960's and 1970's. It wouldn't suprised me if it was a nice little "dog track deal"???
He already had an Omega Seamaster in the 1960's and I remember we all watched the moon landing together, as a family. So I suppose the timing was right for him to change to a Speedmaster. As a kid I remember the watch was kept in a nice red Omega box, that I wasn't allowed to touch. I think that fell victim to one of my Mum's clear outs in the 1980's, along with the broken Omega flat link bracelet. 😟
OMEGA 321:
Yes, it is lovely to own an Omega Speedmaster with a 321 movement. It’s a beautiful thing, but then that brings it's own concerns with regard to servicing and maintenance. Hopefully, with the help of STS UK and Simon Freese Watchmakers UK, it will be sustainable.
It's timely to make this post today. My Dad was born on 15th October 1931. If he was still here today, he would be celebrating his 91st birthday and still wearing his Omega Speedmaster Professional on his wrist. 😀
