The Mother of all Franken Speedies. Need Help Identifying This Strange Dial

I had a look, the only service dial with short indices and AML is this....

I was so dazzled by the blue I neglected to notice that this dial is non Pro. I've searched around but have yet to find other photos of the dial in my op. I will keep searching. I noticed some older posts concerning little known dials and if they were 321 or 861 dials. I'm presuming this is a 321 since it has such a movement attached. Is it possible that this is an early 861 dial?

Have you had the dial out yet? We could see the feet to confirm it is a 321 or 861.

I have not removed the watch from the case yet.

I think the asking price is at least 300% too high. For that money you can get two BNIB cal. 1861 Speedys and they even come with a bracelet.

As mine was to me, the worth (or lack there of) is in the separate parts
