@Foo2rama your -76 is a C2 dial - same S as the stepped, but no step obviously. C3 are the tall drop-S, found on '80s Speedmasters (such as the one in the post directly above mine now) - the 3572 in question has a later dial from the '90s that could be considered a "C4" (compare the height of the S on yours with the rounder S on his)

N.B. your dial, the C2, is indeed quite rare as having been introduced for the 145.022-74, but phased out in later 145.022-76s for the tall drop S C3 dial 馃槈

Thanks for the clarification it was late and I was tired 馃槈 more a joke then anything else.

Although I thought a 76 could have had a stepped also.

Long live the DSS much better then the SSS or DTS. 馃槈

The stepped dial went out with the -71, though I wouldn't discount the possibility of some earlier -74s having them. The -76 shouldn't though - in fact, most -76s have the C3 dial.

Took way too long (Held by UK Customs) but it is finally here!!!!

Lovely example, you found a nice watch! Love the patina of the hour indices, goes very well with the strap choice.

Very different looks and I was very undecided for a long time between the superluminova dials and the trium.

This photo tipped me over the edge

illition, thank you for the kind words. For having worked in the radiation industry, I had a personal attachment to tritium. I would choose tritium over superluminova dials. To this day, I have had many compliments of people asking the year of the speedy and they are all surprised this is only a 1997/1998.

The racer strap and patina is the ultimate combo!
