I am confounded that at every OB I visit, no one has an 321, and don't seem to keep a waiting list, however there seem to be many offerred on Chrono24/ebay.
I also thought the 321 would be a perfect size, but I found it wears much larger than its 39.7mm diameter, to the extent I have buyers remorse and don’t wear the watch. I have a fairly small wrist at 6.75 inches and find the 321 wears a lot larger than my 16710. If you haven’t tried it on, I’d definitely recommend doing so, as you might be quite surprised how it wears on the wrist.

I’d always discounted the regular Speedmaster, as I thought it would be too large at 42mm, but I’ve just bought the new white-dialled 3861 and I’m really happy with the size. I actually think it seems smaller on the wrist than the 321!
