Is there an easy way to tell the date without opening up the watch to find the serial number ? (Not a watch guy)

Hmmm... a simple way ?
A Speedmaster chronograph enthusiast could spend a day explaining it to you, and he'd barely have scratched the surface.
I don't know anything about it, I just know that... it's complicated.

Of course, I can't afford it, but if I could, that's probably the one I'd want, 39.7 mm diameter with caliber 321 (column-wheel chrono).

Mine is a reissue of Walter Schirra’s.
His watch was a ref 2998 he wore during his mission around Earth.
Was before NASA validation as official watch so, no professional mention.
The case is also thinner and obviously not “T” as this is a reissue without Radium.
But as @ties70 said, a trained eye is able to differentiate generation by subtle detail as you are for A-2 @B-Man2 .
