You can't go wrong wif 1861 and 861.
I read it somewhere that diff only 1 small piece Delrin brake or something....

Of cos, if u google u can find out more. Like 17 jewel for earlier version and 18 for later as well as the brass coating to rho..... Dunno what coating. Anyway, u can also check wif oosimm I think. Or even roo7.

Price pt wise, last when I hooted, ard 2k for 861 speedy. That was abt 3mths ago. But, this depends also on cond, and other factors.

Hope this helps

you mean 861. post moon watch ,at excellent cond?
3k SGD is more on the 2nd hand watch shop value...like how much they sell to customers. try to get under 2.6k(if you really like the watch).
those price point ard early 2k have been seen but then rather uncommon and got to be patient..

Note the conditions of dial(original vintage dial or OEM omega replacement when it was sent for service- tritum T swiss- MadeT or just swiss made. Color of lume on indices and hands if they are matching. Any issue to chrono start/stop/reset. Any pitting underside of case,casethreads,backcase. Clean movement? replacement crystal or original with scratches,..most important I suppose at this price it should come with original bracelet.

Bro
I will leave the seller identity aside. I was offer a supposed new 3570 for 3k till I found out there is a missing link although there is the blue protective sticker on the clasps, including the certs from hong kong. At that time, i was quite tempted but I pull hand brake. Then he told me today he has a cal.861 arriving the shore and I was quite tempted but again, there are so many considerations... I think I am not so meticulous to look at the watch. Even to the extend of using a loupe to examine it. more then often, it is between trust of the sellers and buyers. I really appreciate your advice. Must buy you kopi one day...:)

general Omega speedmaster movements:

http://chronomaddox.com/moonwatch_cal_background.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Omega 321 = Lemania 2310
Omega 861= lemania 1873
Omega 1861= modified lemania 1873 (one added Jewel,rhodium plating to better protect it from rust. Also note the added "delryn brake" in this movt. See above chronomaddox link.

The 861 was copper plated . Omega says rose gold until 1992 for the 861 and 863 then yellow gold until 1996, rhodium thereafter.
The 1863, has the metal brake instead of Delrin and is finished by hand (filing, angling and polishing).
