    A search of this forum says that all 321's and some early 861's had the DON bezel.

    Well, it still fits the 321 Speedmasters has some patina which some owners would like and isn't being advertised as being a DON bezel, so its a much cheaper alternative for someone who wants a bezel for their 321 but doesn't want a "new" looking one that will stick out like a sore thumb.

    Yep, a good point. That would be enough motivation for me to buy it. I was just musing about his reference to it in the title as an "Omega Speedmaster Vintage Caliber 321 Chronograph" when really its post '69 and away from the 321s? Just being a bit pedantic and splitting hairs I suppose :)
