BBC Antiques Road Show - a couple of weeks ago they featured a 145.012.
Then this week it was a very good condition and much sought after Apollo Soyuz Corredo which they valued at £80k...The back story is the guys brother bought it in Italy where it had sat at the dealers for four years. He paid £300. He was sadly killed in a car crash and the watch was given to his brother. It then sat in a drawer for 20 years with no wrist time. The brother does not like it so it will come to market I imagine. It has an extract and looks in good condition....

The expert noted "the pusher are fatter". Do Speedy pushers change over the years or from one reference to another? Or are these pusher unique to this model?

This edition had larger 5.5mm pushers unique to this reference. Consequently, the case was slightly different with a larger opening to allow the fatter pushers.

This is a feature to look for when trying to identify a true Apollo-Soyuz, as opposed to one that had a dial and case added to an otherwise typical moonwatch.

Yet, these look like standard pushers, no?

Looking at the other A-S thread, looks like that £80k valuation was spot on
