That has already been confirmed by Omega so I wouldn’t shout too loudly
Really? In dodgy extract form or in a more verifiable way?

A modern extract issued this year.

So in what way did it confirm the existence of follow on watches? Sorry if that sounded a little confrontational, not my intention, I am genuinely curious.

Hoping to see such a dial version return by 2025 to celebrate " 50 years ASTP " ... the last but not least of the half century Apollo tribute opportunities

Yes I see your point. They are careful with their wording it must be said, if I were pedantic or overly picky I would suggest that it doesn't say that they had approval at the time, it merely reflects what happened retrospectively, but I do accept that the mention on a recent extract give a level of defacto authenticity. It would be more helpful of course if they had stated how big the converted batch was, unless they are not entirely sure, shades of Ultraman perhaps.

They will be discovered in 2029 in Italy, and then say it was released 4 years earlier and there is no record of it.

A bit of a strech to post this here. It's a recent acquisition of a letter postmarked on the ISS 17 July, 2020, 45th anniversary of Apollo-soyuz.

Easier to get something from space than getting my hands on one of these watches...



(Hope this wasn't too much thread drift.)

Look at all those correct ones with good extracts and the correct pushers.

This just has a serial number. It may already have been counted:

OMEGAMANIA: APOLLO-SOYUZ Omega, "Speedmaster Professional Apollo- Soyuz", No. 39927934. Ref. ST 145.022. Made in a limited edition of 500 examples in 1975 to mark the occasion of the joint Russo-American 'Apollo-Soyuz' mission. Sold on January 31, 1978.

Too old, no pics.

Hang on that is supposedly a genuine original one of 500 model and yet has the same weasel words on the extract as the one above with the small pushers.

Bearing in mind the above, is that not in fact how the current extracts now describe a genuine 1 of 500 AS? If so it doesn’t count as validation fo a follow on watch after all.

I have no idea what the Foffi bit means.
