New Arrival **Pics**

After much searching, I have FINALLY landed a cal 321 Speedmaster... a 105.012-65, movement # 24005279. It's in un-restored condition and without a strap, but there's definitely a beautiful watch under those scratches and dirt. It also has the "two slope" caseback, which I am very excited about. It's running well, the pushers are crisp and the chrono resets dead on.

Here are some quick pics and a couple of questions for the experts:

1. The scratches might not polish out of the crystal...what is the correct crystal for this watch?
2. I am not will to pay the going rates for an NOS bracelet, so what strap looks nice on a vintage Speedmaster?
3. The minute hand is in rough shape...leave it or replace it?
4. The tachymetre bezel insert is also fairly rough? Are the replacement ones the same font? Do they look correct?

Thanks,

John
