    Hello Speedmaster experts!

    I am looking for some help to identify a lot of 320/321 parts that I purchased from a watch repairer years ago. This is not the complete set of parts, I have some 105.012 pushers, original crown and stem, DON bezel :) etc in the spares tray as well.

    First here is a list of the part numbers:

    1310-9017
    320-1246
    320-1321
    320-1327
    320-1701
    320-1708
    320-1734
    320-1767
    320-2026
    320-2033
    320-2035
    320-2036
    320-2037
    320-2510
    321-1705
    321-1783
    321-1791
    321-1794

    There is also a small box of mixed parts labelled "321", could be used parts? Here is an overall picture of the unidentified parts:

    And here is a close up of the small box of miscellaneous parts:

    I have no idea if these are valuable, they may well be freely available, anyone know?

    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks watchtinker, just what I need. I assume then that the parts are commonly available? Good news, if so, for all us 321 calibre Speedie fans.

    No, not all of them. You have a couple there that are long discontinued by Omega...

    Cheers, Al

    Thanks Al, much appreciate your response. I am not sure if any of these will be useful for my 105.012-65 one day, guess I'll keep them just in case!

    Hi morningtundra, thanks for your question. I have a low post count and so can not sell anything through these forums. I was just seeking information about the spare parts that I have and whether they might be useful some day in the future.

    Still a couple of unidentified parts (plus the box of mixed parts):

    I could not find the two missing ones in the docs, if anyone knows please let me know, cheers.

    1310-9017 is for a quartz movement (Cal. 1310) so not a Speedmaster part. Center wheel with cannon pinion.

    The 2026 is a screw, but I don't believe is for a Cal. 320...maybe Cal. 410/420...

    Cheers, Al

    Hello Al, thanks, that makes sense! Thank you.

    I have a couple of Cal 1310 Omegas, so that might come in handy. The 2026 screws are probably of no use to me.

    I also found two complete movements in the little drawer of watch parts: a 9162 (tuning fork) and an Omega 712. I do have an Omega Constellation powered by tuning fork movement (really cool looking watch with a truly funky box and brochure), so I guess that might be handy as a donor part should the need arise.

    The 712 is a wonderfully thin automatic movement (complete with Onyx studded crown), only 3mm thick. It was developed in the 60's in-house by Omega for their Constellation ultra-thin's. I don't have one of these watches. This movement appears to be new, at least to an untrained eye looking at it through a loupe. It has a serial number, I wonder what is it's story?

    Is the faded DON more sought after? I can see this would give a nice look to a vintage speedy...

    I wouldn’t say it’s more sought after...depends on the dial / lume / condition etc of the particular watch -> doesn’t look great on all watches. IMO a faded Bezel looks great on a gnarly watch, but one with a mint dial and hands etc require a correlating bezel (unless ofcourse the exterior is gnarly -> the bezel is part of that). It needs to look somehow like it fits. But I may be wrong :)

    Agree 100%. I have a couple of watches which would look great with that faded DON :)
