Doe any one know where to get this book or any links to his extensive writing?

Does that extract quote the "special" s/n? I thought they didn't do that?
Interesting point Gordoni

I thought "jings" was only used in Scotland, or by folks who read DC Thomson comics!

Always a cool watch. There were always a few available back in the 90s.

132 is also depicted in the book " The Master of Omega " pages 84 to 89 ... and of course in mstanga's excellent book " Omega Speedmaster Apollo Soyuz the first " page 74
The latter book also depicts 461 an "out-of-range" example on page 103

I confirm that the Apollo / Soyuz with caseback 132 was bought by me and it's still in my collection
I gave my watch to be photographed by Alberto Isnardi for his book "The Master of Omega" ....... instead Marco "Mstanga" has published my caseback on his book " Omega Speedmaster Apollo Soyuz - the first" just because it was a better pic
Both guys are good friends ...
