Thanks DaveK, I'll keep that in mind.
While my service is on hold over the holidays, I've continued reading quite a bit of speedmaster101 and quite frankly I am confused with the serial number
"I am seeing" in my watch with the case back markings. While I think I've read a bit about these, I will be the first to admit, I know nothing and in this particular case, I may be missing something very obvious......
View attachment 896302
this serial number seems to be in the range of a transitional, not a -69.......
from the speedmaster101 145.022 transitional page:
- Applied Metal Logo Dial with long indices
- Low serial number calibre 861 (26m to 27m)
- Date stamped -68 in the case back.
- Dot Over 90 Bezel
- Spear or square end Chrono hand
from the speedmaster101 145.022-69 page:
Calibre 861
Serial Range:
2842 0xxx – 3162 9xxx
Could someone tell me what serial number they are seeing?
And, what is the significance of the number "12" engraved on the lug?
Oh look! It's cocktail hour, Cheers
