Re: 1965 Speedmaster FS on Timezone *LINK*

: Matin Watches has a '65 Speedmaster listed for
: sale; cal. 321, but I don't see
: "Professional" on the dial under
: Omega Speedmaster. Is this watch real?

You do have a good eye Jimmy and I'm glad that you question a big purchase. But the dial is indeed CORRECT. It is a pre-professional watch. The word "Professional" didn't appear until 1 year later, in 1966. Timezone is an excellent place and I'm sure that the moderators would've given the seller a bad time if he/she tried to sell a fake, but again, good eye!

I got my info from Steve Waddington's site: Old-Omegas.com, while I was looking for the answers to the competition that he hosted earlier!
