    You might remember this thread
    https://omegaforums.net/threads/pretty-obvious-why-i-bought-this-speedy.27122/
    were i told you about the Speedy i found, that had a DON bezel, but a dial without lume and badly painted wrong hands.
    By chance i got a hit on a nice vintage Racing dial from Australia and i thought lets build a Racing dail Speedy.
    I searched my drawers for some fitting hands ( reminds me to tell you always separate the small running second, minute hand and hour counter as their posts have a different diameter and it took me quite some time
    to find the correct ones ;) ) found a vintage 1171
    and managed to put everything back together in corrrect working order.
    I am quite pleased with the result i have to admit .

    Nice , i think finding the racing dial is quite similar to find the Watch itself...

    Looks good, I did not realise MkII dials fitted pro cases. I just sold a MKII racing dial too, Duh!
