路路惟F InvestiGatorMexico was always a huge market for Omega, particularly around the time of the Olympics there in 1968. I've seen many special boxes with the Olympic logos.
It was a special treat to see that watch up close and personal last week in AC.
Thanks,

I didn't know that, there seems to be many black dialed Omegas coming from Mexico or popping up on the bay from sellers from time to time. I've always been a little suspicious but I guess that's why!

路路Vintage Omega AficionadoI personally have never ordered an extract for any of the vintage omegas that I own. I do have watches with extracts - that's how they came to me and also have a few with original papers. Perhaps for expensive watches - think $20k and above an extract would be of help but it needs to contain information about the original case reference it came in. The extract above posted by Noisy Nova wouldn't be of any help in this regard. I also wonder how much of the user provided information makes it way to the extract as I've seen at least a couple of extracts that I doubt whether the movement number belonged to the case reference number cited.

路路Vintage Omega AficionadoIf the case reference number is no longer cited then it is definitely not worth the money. The date of production and place of delivery is virtually useless unless in some very specific examples - such as in the canada only white dial railmaster or the military SM300.

路路Ash @ 惟FI'm mainly curious about the production year on my seamaster as the serial puts it at 1952 or something which sounded too early, also keen to see if it like the other two with extracts was Mexican delivered

路路惟F InvestiGatorMost of the information on the extract one can find out either through the Omega Vintage Database, or on forums like this one. As MSN pointed out, the only information that Omega provides that isn't in the public domain is the country of original sale.
The only time I needed extract information was when I was researching whether a cal. 352 watch I owned was one of a batch of 1,000 consecutive chronometers that passed the official examination in 1949.

Other than that, I think it is a waste of money,

Yes, but how much of that information did you provide? Three pictures -- of the inside of the caseback, movement and dial, would give Omega all of the extract info except delivery date and country. That's all you are really paying for.
Well, maybe there's the fancy envelope, wax seal and postage,

This is the real problem - if all omega will do is take the information you provide then place that on the extract in addition to the date of delivery then it is useless.
