    If its too good to be true.... The picture the guy is using on watchnet direct linked to a pic from omegaforums, see this post:
    http://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-apollo-soyuz-35th-anniversary.14451/

    It's blatantly a scam... low post count, sketch email address, reusing pictures from other sellers, price way too low. I know the pursuit of a great deal is really enticing but you have to live by the axiom: Buy the seller, not the watch, and you won't get burned. I reported this guy to the mods on that forum. Be safe out there.

    Yep, always be careful, never hesitate to ask for references, and if someone's pushing you to pay by bank transfer don't be afraid to walk away, there are always more watches.

    There's a really good documentary on the Skylab program and how it all went, it really was an amazing research project.

    That's a big back yard you have there ;)

    I would say the Soyuz 75 or the 80 days on Mir!

    Too funny ;-) The first post for this watch had no sale price included. I Emailed him for his price. He just got back to me:

    My asking price is $5300 including shipping.

    If you are paying with paypal, you pay the fee

    At this figure I'm afraid it goes in the "If it's too good to be true, it is" file ;-(

    This guy keeps pushing this bogus Speediorite (the giveaway is he keeps picking @salesperson.net email addresses)....so pathetic. I've got his bank wire information which I socially engineered out of him the first time he tried this, and was thinking of reverse trolling this idiot, but I've really got better things to do.

    I mean, he's blatantly trying to steal 5,000 USD from someone. That's intent. Isn't this illegal!?
