As some of you may know i've been very interested in getting a 1967 Speedie. This is the latest one i've found.
Be happy to know what you guys think of it ?. Thanks.

 

I'd agree with that - a nice honest example. Ideal to use out and about and could be improved over time if wanted. I'd add that the hour sub-dial hand is wrong but that's no problem, also I don't think that is a 1039 bracelet and it is incorrect for the period as are the end-pieces. The lume on the hour markers has possibly been cleaned back a little too much, removing the tritium (would need a high def picture to tell for sure) but it still looks good and the dial is original and in good condition. Hopefully all those little things are reflected in the price.
Really nice to have the correct bezel with the '.' over the '90' as that's rare and pricey to replace. I assume the movements serial no. is 26...... which would be about right.
I love it!

 

The 67 cal 321 is the most common year for the 321 in my experience. You should have no trouble finding plenty to choose from. I see them like this one sell from 2500 to 3500. The bezel is one of its best features and tough to find so clean and correct. The dial has def. had the markers cleaned up, which is pretty common, but it's always a shame to lose that color. So much of that tritium got really dark, esp. if it got damp. If it's less than 2500, seems like safe buy to me.

 

The only definite plus on this one is the bezel, its a nice one thought BUT I think if you wait for one with tritium on the dial you will be a much happier camper. My 2 cents!

 

I'm going to try to behave myself and not get chastised by moderators, but it's not easy. I do agree that a dial with the orig. patina is much more attractive. Now I need to find an avatar photo.

 

Thanks again for all your advice. The watch was $3800 (reserve not met).. So i'll keep looking !.
