There's a quick way to figure out whether it's a 321 or 861 Speedy! With my iPhone I can capture slow-motion videos. Then it's easy to see whether the chrono-second hand moves 5 or 6 times per second.
EDIT: sorry I guess I should explain better:
145.012 with 321 has a beat rate of 18000/hour = 5 times/sec
145.022 with 861 has a beat rate of 21600/hour = 6 times/sec

Hahaha......
Only a half second out grizzly, so not a bad guess....
Actually my old speedy isn't so speedy after all, and has a slow beating heart.
Looks like it may be a 145.012
.......Hurrah!
Hi all.....
Dave is the name, and this is my first post.
1. I don´t have the receipt from when the watch went to Omega for the service and replacement hands, and i can´t remember if the dial was replaced at the same time. Stupid i know, but i really didn´t have much interest, or appreciate the watch at that time.
Having done some reading last night, i suspect that it was, but i would really appreciate it if anyone can confirm this. Please see pics
2. Can anyone recommend someone in UK that can do a service and check the watch over for me. I will send it to Omega if need be, but would rather not.
3. I would like to have either a genuine Omega stainless bracelet, or leather strap fitted. By looking at the attached pictures, can anybody tell me what model bracelet strap would fit, and maybe best place to find one (it would be great if one was available here on the forum)
4. I would also like to fit a new push button to the watch. Can anyone advise the correct serial number.
Ok all, thanks in advance for any help offered, and have a great weekend ahead.
All the best.
Dave.
As my watch looks like it may be a 145.012 model, would it be recommended that i look for an original 145.012 dial to replace the existing service dial............
A 105.012-66 has the single step case back. So the possibility is there, however the pushers are screw in and too tall, but they were replaced so we cannot rely on those. The shape of the lugs shows no residual facets of the 66CB and the lugs dont look right for a 66HF.
However it could have been polished.
So in my humble opinion the likely options are a 145.022 or a 145.012. My gut is telling me it might be a 145.012 but that is perhaps because I love a fairytale happy ending.
My gut says 145.022-69, but get that case back off and post some pics of inside and movement number. You can't discuss a thing until you first know what it is you are looking at
I think we've established that it's a 321 caliber watch:
