Well, it's been a while since I posted an incoming, but today was a fun day indeed!

 

You got a new set of Magic: The Gathering cards?

 

Crown Royal?

 

Better... inside the bag, a bespoke box, also in royal purple.

 

Is this a sneak preview of Omega's 2017 Baselworld releases? Cause the way this year went, I'd believe it

 

?

 

Royal Purple, are you an emporer or something and we missed it?

 

I have three little girls, got enough of those around the house!

 

Oh, what the hell, there's no mystery here, right?

It's a ulackfocus-61. Acquired in Canada no less!

 

+1000

What a find, the straight lug and alpha hands are a grail. BRAVO!

 

With the family..

 

Okay, thats too many Alpha hands, one needs to go!

Are the first two -5s?

 

In order, 2998-4, 105.002, 105.003-64, 145.003-65, 145.012-67, 145.022-68, and the new one is a 2998-61.

 

incredible collection and congrats on the pickup!

 

What's the story on the 145.003? More pictures somewhere?

 

Paper work calls it a 145.003. Omega archives confirmed via email that it's internally logged as a 145.003. Extract says 105.003 and the museum said that 145.003 was an internal 'logistics designation' so they won't put that on the extract..

 

So no 145.003 stamped on the case back? Where was it originally shipped to (guessing the paperwork and extract match on the destination)?

 

No 145.003 stamped in the caseback. I thought 145.003 was never stamped in any casebacks...?

Now that you mention it, I never checked papers to extract! When I got the extract, I was so disappointed it didn't state 145.003, I just put it away. I will check tomorrow and report back.

 

It's rather rare: http://speedmaster101.com/blog/145-003-whats-the-story/

 

Only one caseback seen, ever? Perhaps suspect?

I'm content to have the email from the museum, but I think it was, as spacefruit theorized, an internal only designation...

I would hazard a guess that the extract in the article is pre-2010..
