    Guys, I know there is a thread out there but I couldn't manage to find it again...it was about internal References on the Papers instead of the Serial of the watch. Background is: I got offered a Speedy 145022-71 with Papers, all looks fine but there is that irritating Number 8126 or 8124 (if so, then US Market where it was sold) instead of the Serial.
    Does anyone have a clue about these internal Numbers?

    Thanks in advance
    Ralf

    Hey Ralf!

    Would it be possible to have it opened and check the serial?

    Hand written papers... not always useful! ;)

    yeah, I'm aware of that. Saw the inside & serial, it's in Range with 322x. and I wouldn't be bothered with the papers even if they just somehow just "met" the watch, but I do remember the discussion here about these internal numbers appearing on papers.

    Not much help but could it be a catalogue reference number? Seem to remember seeing. catalogue page photos where watches have 4/5 digit numbers against them
    rather than the known numbers we all refer to

    Absolutely and I was dealing with exctly that the last couple of hours but couldn't find a 70ties US Catalog or Ad until now. Old-omegas.com unfortunately has only other Countries available, so I couldn't figure it out yet..I'll take a Lunchbreak now :)

    thanks! 6126..that's pretty close to what looks like 8126 :)
    Maybe they changed it between '71 and '74, but not very likely. I might need to adjust to the fact that I won't find out..
