    Looking at this watch I don't know what to think of the dial

    The movement is said to be a 321 with Sn 245xxxxx I haven't got any other pics yet.
    According to Ilovemyspeedmaster the watch may have been made in march 1967.
    The Speedmaster101 tables on Ilovemyspeedmaster for the SN indicate one of these models:

    1967-68/69, ST145.012-67,-68, Caliber 321

    1966-69, ST105.003-65,ST145.003, Caliber 321

    1966-67, ST105.012-65, Caliber 321

    1967-68, ST105.012-66, Caliber 321

    What bothers/annoys/amazes me is the printed logo with long hour markers. Could this be one of those mentioned in MWO on page 97 (2nd edition) ?? But where have the Ts gone to?
    And what is this too modern dial doing on a 321 calibre Speedmaster? Replacment, mix up, something else?
    Please enlighten me.

    Thanks for your help.

    Old Service dial for cal 321 you will find more pictures of the same if you search on the forums. I don't have time to search right now but I am sure you will quickly find some other similar watches with these keywords.

    The hands don't look from the 60s to my eye.

    OK, thanks gents.

    And what about the huge spacing between the bezel and the print of the minute track? Or is that just an optical thing?

    I think that the rehaut is just hard to see because of the lighting.
