: PO and Speedy Pro don't look anything alike, do they?
Been there and done that Mike. Ginger (Wife) thinks every Speedmaster looks and "is" the same. She may be onto something but
I'll deny it to the death. The dials are all the same on 861, 1861, 1863 and like movements. The movement is the same but the finish
is different. Only difference. On the 321s, a 861 dial may fit and may not, it just depends on what model it is. The difference is the
feet and the bevel of the subdials. Sometimes you just got to try it. I've got a 67 models Speedmaster 321 and its got an early model
69 model dial on it. It fits but is not original to the watch and I've kept it that way. Earlier than 69 had an applied Omega symbol and
69 forward had a painted one. Go figure that one...................I digress...........it will fit. Movement and dial feet are the same and
dialface is different. Have at it. I've seen some Snoopy dials for sale in the 200 buck range on originals.
