·Good question, most probably not....but some small shelfwear is visible.
If you love it then that’s all that matters. Worth pointing these things out for posterity’s sake though.

·I am not trying to be critical, but it’s worth mentioning that the dial on your Speedy does not appear to have a step, which is incorrect for a -66 CB and likely indicates a service dial that has been aged. Does the caseback have the CB markings on the inside also?

You right that this dial has a unusual very small step which is not visible on that picture. If it’s a service dial, then it’s one I never have seen before. Normally the service dials have the applied logo, the “big” step and small index. I had the watch for a movement service and the dial is marked with Singer on the back like others from this time. The caseback has the CB markings. Next thing will be to order extract.
Anyway, I don’t think your comment is critical as I also would like to know more about this dial.

·That's not the same as a full step though - William has a couple of good pictures listed at the top of this article and these have the same "ridge" (or "step") as the one here.

I don't see any with the same gap though, between the step and the minute indices...
Edit : but interesting re. the owners comments!

I also have compared my dial with the modern and old service one’s. It’s not just the T’s that makes the difference. As I don’t have the CB at home I just can show pics I already have.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoAside from the lack of the step I am also suspicious of the hash marks in the subdials - the hash marks are thicker where there are numbers in the subdials - look at the hash marks at the lower subdial with the 3,6,9, 12 numbers and compare with the OP's watch. You will find the original dial has them much thicker.

That’s interesting as the hash marks on my -65HF are also not thicker as seen on the OP’s watch.
