··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...whats the story on how these dials came about? Manufacturing defect?
I believe the consensus is a small run like the racing’s. Singer finished other dials for Omega and other makers in the same finish. These Speedmasters have 2 color variations blue and grey. I also think there is a dial printing variant out there on at least one of the colors. @Spacefruit delved into these and can give a better answer.
@sliceoftime_ holy mother of god that’s one of the best if not the best one out there. No dial degradation on the step at all!

·Beautiful example and seems to have escaped the dial degradation that is so commonly seen on the grey dials. Enough of these around now to really believe that they left the Omega factory with these dials.

·Thank you everyone for the kinds words. It really is a stunner and even better in person! Still pinching myself due to the condition of the dial.
Well noted buddy, but will have to add you to the list which might not even happen, as I can't see myself parting with this one!
Thanks Alexis, real privilege to own this one.
Thanks bud, beggars can't choose, but I got lucky with this one.
Definitely a good idea, would be a top hit!
Yes, I assume the watch was kept very well in its lifetime.
I love all this new hate. 😁
Absolutely bud, long indices and period correct fonts are great. Yes buddy, you are the first DIBS!
Thank you! The mint DON is the icing on the cake!
Mostly still a mystery, but am leaning towards the fact that these were made in batches or prototypes, replaced when in service in Omega. Tried for an extract but came up blank.
😝😝😝
I am trying to look and research more about these and hopefully Omega will mention something about these dials. Yes! Don't mean to brag but its definitely on the best of the bunch condition wise.
Officially on OF though. 😁
Ha! This will be glued to my wrist. 😉
It's a long journey, but thanks to you my friend! 😀
Can I just say.... DIBS!! And wow.
Congrats K. When you collect, it's really the tip top ones!
That exact looking watch should be ST3! Simple, stunning, gorgeous!
Usually these are pretty degraded. Nice catch! Love these rare dialled early speedies
Congrats again Kent, it's a stunner. The long indexes are really a very nice touch.
I'll state it publicly, but I think I got the first DIBS on this one ? 😀
Tritium patina is very nice, DON is spotless, case looks crisp. Even without that very special dial this would’ve been a great catch! That’s a 10/10 watch, congrats! And it‘s always nice to see how good this community works together!

·Spectacular watch.
This is one of those watches which even if you have the $$$ lying around, you can't necessarily own one. It must be bestowed upon you by the universe.
