Omega Speedmaster 1967 Caliber 321

Hi All,

Need some help here.

Recently my vintage watch got flooded with water while on a holiday and apparently the seal was very old and needed a replacement. Hence, I need to replace the dial (with the applied logo) and all the hands due to the condition of the watch.

I found Ofrei and I am trying to order the parts from them but I am not familiar with their part numbers since some of them don't even have pictures available.

Anybody could help me with all the part numbers?
Big thanks beforehand!

I am not sure if this helps, but I have been trying to school myself (along with help from many great members here) on all things Speedy and the two big numbers for ordering parts from Ofrei is case # (found only on the inside, back of the case) and the reference # of the watch.

The experts here will certainly be able to give you those numbers.

Might you just send the watch back to Omega for a full overhaul - would save you much headache I would think?

Damn, is it really that bad? Once you replace them with the luminova versions you can wipe a massive chunk off the value of that Speedmaster

So sorry to hear, that just sucks. When was it last serviced and was the seal replaced at that time?

This link is for the dials: http://www.ofrei.com/page343.html

That page lists the dial by corresponding movement and case numbers -- i.e. 321 and 145.012 or 145.0012 (replacement case for 145.012) in your situation.

Same deal with the hands: http://www.ofrei.com/omega-watch-han...r-321-861.html

Thanks for the support and the help.

I had not serviced it for the longest time and did not know the seal was leaking :-(

Now I got bunch of parts to find and replace; my watch was flooded for two weeks worth of salt water (the serviceman was out of town) and parts / dial were seriously damaged.

After too many years, Caliber 321 is going to be reproduced in 2019-2020. Good for 1967 speedy owners
