Hi

I was offered this Speedmaster 67 dial and hands today.
I did some comparison with my ex ref. 102.012 from 1966 and as far as I could see it checks.
But we all know that the devil lies in the detail.
Any warrning signs?

 

Are these the narrow TTs more often seen on the 105.012 -64 and 65? Might be some on 66s as well but I think most 66s have the wider spaced TTs.

 

Smell it. If it has even a whiff of pork or crab it isn't kosher.

 

I do know know which ref. this dial is from. I was not focusing on thickness of the T's. Just their position. I was promised some more pictures where whole dial is visiable.

 

If it doesn't have a split hoof & chew it's own cud it isn't kosher. If it saw the knife that slit it's throat it isn't kosher. If it wasn't blessed it isn't kosher.


There's other things too but I don't remember right now

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah..... I'm not worried about the details. I'm just glad two entire religions won't eat pig. More bacon for me!

 

I think the dial's genuine Omega, just a bit tired, and for an earlier watch.

All 105.012-65 I've seen have had narrow T's; for the -66 it seems that more HF have narrow T's than wide, and more CB have wide T's than narrow. All 145.012-67 I've seen have had wide-spaced T's, so I don't think this one's original to the watch.

 

I do not have a watch. And the seller wrote speedmaster 67, but the correct question should have been is it genuine (for cal. 321) dial and hands.
Thx for your answer.
And to something completly different What would be a fair price or where and how can check the price for speedmaster (pre moon) dial and hands?

 

Yep, looks correct but 64 to early 66 for me. Not from a 67.

Look on ebay sold listings for an idea of price. They sell reasonably frequently.

 

Yes, it is a genuine Omega dial, for a 321 movement, and the hands for a 321 movement will fit.

 

Jains are vegetarians so that's 3 at least

 

Thanks ac!

Omega Forums - somebody somewhere knows about every subject and is willing to add their knowledge to the discussion.

 

Be careful...excessive nitrate intake can make...

1) a person become obsessed with grammatical issues.

2) for an intolerance to those who overly enjoy a particular watch.

3) one incredibly impatient with first time posters, who either ask stupid questions, or ask questions that could have been easily answered with the most superficial Google search.

 

That explains a lot. I can tell you if deleting processed pork products from my diet can cure the above behaviors, you all should know there's more of the same coming because I ain't quitting bacon.

 

Dial looks from 65.66 105.012...Original as stated before..Hands too..And will fit Cal 321.

 

Are you sure?

 

Maybe their God hates pork, but America's God loves it roasted, barbecued, or broiled.... as an entree or side, and especially as a hamburger topping. Pork - it's for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner!

 

Nope:

 

if the lady who painted the tritium bars was menstruating .. it isn't kosher ...

 

Agreed with most of the statements above. Looks genuine but washed out, not the most attractive.

Some -65 105.012's near the end of that production run can have wide spaced T's but these are the earliest documented and have late -65 serials. Similarly, some early (I think HF but could be wrong) -66's have close spaced T's. I think if the serial is early in the -66 range than you shouldn't balk at it.
