Excuse my ignorance but can someone tell me whether speedmaster pro dials should have feet on? Theres one appeared on ebay and it says no feet - would it have had feet? Can't be sure from the photos.
Thanks, Alan

My guess is that "feet" refers to the pins that insert into the movement to hold the dial in place. You can see them in this photo:

BTW, that's a cal. 861 dial on the left and a cal. 321 on the right. Needless to say, the 321 dial will not fit a cal. (1)86# movement as the "feet" or pins are too large for the holes in the movement.

thanks John - appreciate your comment - looks like the one on fleabay is missing the feet and will not be of much use at all!!
It's also very useful to know that the dials are different on cal 321/861.
Thanks again, Alan
