It's sealed and I don't want to open,
but curiosity is killing me
From a 1970 Speedmaster paperwork.

 

Have you considered steaming it open so you don't damage it?

 

owww.... sneaky
Not until now , ha
But I used to change my report cards before my parents saw.
And made fake ID in High School to buy booze

 

hold it over a very bright light?

 

no workie

 

Guess you never spring for those x-ray vision glasses, did you?

BTW, do you have the watch this paperwork came from?

 

Well googled Omega 32870024 - first up "Erotic Comics" ???

 

It was last on my results.
Hmmm, u shouldn't be posting stuff like that.
U do know Google customizes your search results based
on previous searches don't you?
HA

 

Doh

 

Nope. Those were separate(Omega guarantee, Instruction Booklet, and You and Your Omega booklet))

 

With a 32 year validity, so I think yours will have JUST expired....

 

How about a Certificate of High Precision?

One of mine is like that, in an envelope with the serial number stamped on it.

 

Jim-thanks for reply.
Got a pic of it?

 

Yep, here's some pics for you.

Also, in a "previous life", I was trained to find out what was in "certain packages", just so we didn't get any "surprises"

A quick method was to spray the item with a special solvent which makes the opaque paper transparent for a short time and then vaporises and leaves no evidence (the important bit ;-)).

Unfortunately you can't get hold of the spray we used, but a fine spray of methylated spirits does a similar job.

Anyway, pics

 

but a speedie is chronograph not meter and therefore surely there is no cert of high precision....

 

Wow Jim. Thanks!
I have never seen one of those. Very cool.
But what of hk's comment?
The envelope is exact same style/size with movement number in
same place. Hmmm. Got to be something similar, right.
Anyone else?
