    Hi guys. I'm looking for some opinions on a Speedmaster Pro cal 861 from a local seller. The pics don't offer too muc uploadfromtaptalk1394288151243.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1394288165370.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1394288176109.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1394288184784.jpg h to go on but I'd be interested in your opinions on the dial, bezel, and hands etc. I don't have a movement shot yet but should receive one soon.

    Based on the pictures and info provided I can say, "hmmm, perhaps."
    Does this help? :)
    Nothing stands out as a concern...

    From the photos it looks like the dial and hands are replacements.

    I would like to know the movement number and the case back reference Before commenting further.

    Thanks. Is that due to the lack of patina on the dial indices?

    Answering my own question: the seller says that the watch is from the 80's. Therefore, correct me if I'm wrong, the dial should say "T Swiss Made T". This one has no "T's".

    I find it hard to find this watch attractive!

    I'd be interested to hear your reasons (I am rapidly losing interest myself!).

    Because the hands and dial are replacements.

    the only thing that makes the 80's version attractive is the patina on an original dial and hands.
