Hi guys,
I have the opportunity to buy one NOS dial of the Apollo Soyuz '75 Speedy, do you know how much is a honest price for it?

 

Is it just me, or do you gentleman miss the old days when we would put our hand out and introduce ourselves to a stranger before we started asking him questions. Then it would start with a "please" and end with a "thank you". Just sayin'

 

Hello Miki,
I'm with you on this but unfortunately it's just another sign of the times.
Regards, Jack

 

Sad but true

 

I blame (anti) social media. The younger generation has foregone common courtesy in favor of blunt 140-character-or-less basic communication.

Anyone wanna bet that @piumach is under 40?

Perhaps he/she could start another thread exhibiting a little more politeness and maybe the answers they seek will come.

 

NO BET!

 

Whos his friend?

 

Looks like we won't get our wish - the OP has an identical thread where the Speedie contingent has answered him despite his brevity and lack of social skills.

Hi Guys,
I apologize for both this duplicate thread as well as I miss some politeness with my first message!
Unfortunately English is not my mother tongue and I wrote the first message with my smartphone browser, ending up with a short sentence and a double post...(thank you to let me know, I did not notice )
Anyway, I'm Nicola from Italy, I'm exactly 40 years old :-P and I am a Speedmaster fan.
I just have a 2017 ss speedmaster but no vintage, this is why I asked you for some advice about this dial.

Regards,
Nicola

 

Thank you Nicola. We’ll forgive you for your initial directness. Welcome to Omega Forums!

 

That Italian connection again.

 

Welcome to the omega forum Nicola , sorry I don't think I can help you here, as I could write my knowledge of Soyuz dials on a grain of sand .

 

It beats the dreaded "How much ??" p.m on instagram!

 

If the dial is very rare and you really want it, why not ask seller for a price and negotiate from that price?

 

Its like this on the omega forums group on FB. I ignore these now as clearly they are in it for the profit and no other reason. I'm sure most are bedroom surfers about to sell their dads/grandads watch.
Or " is this fake" - ALWAYS say yes

 

But these watches need a new home! I would be happy to see granddad watches for sale

 

That is so so true
