·A friend showed this picture of a Speedmaster 861 movement with the last 4 digits of the movement drilled. Has anyone encountered anything like this?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...ThAts stolen. No other reason why to take it off. My opinion.
Its a legit watch and in the time period for a little legal issue that required some US sold watches to be drilled like that. Uncommon, very little affect on price. providing the serial puts it around the late 60's early 70's. Scroll through @X350 XJR 's link and there is a nice article on what is going on.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing that.
First thing that came to my mind was that it was stolen as well but... I learn something everyday here in OF.
