    Hi looking at this strange piece , a hard metal case ( Anakin , Darth Vader) with a Speedmaster dial , this is the first thing “incorrect” , after I did not see why such redial ( tons of work ) to do that and also the case back as a number writed , maybe a prototype ?

    if you have a idea

    Just a bad redial. Look at the drunk lettering.

    Looks like there is at least a second one and the history is more or less probable , any one as better information , maybe Franken , and fake was too much.

    I´m not claiming it´s fake or Frankensteined together, because I really don´t know enough to make such statements, but I will say that lettering really looks kind of "drunk" as @Davidt would put it, haha!

    To be fair the dial does look dog rough.

    I called PP in Bienne in order to get the last word, and speaking about the Extract of Archives , at the end for them it is clear that the dial as been redone , but as the serial match EA is supplied, there where not able to confirm the history of the Venezuelan resales in the 70´s despite 3 of them where to sale during the last quarter .

    @Fatcat @gefmey I have seen these numbers before on a number of Omega Ploprof's delivered to Venezuela. I think it is likely the local Omega distributor added them before sale, some kind of stock number?

    Just as an additional thought. The Speedmaster Mk 3 also came with a Seamaster dial.
    I think Omega happily crossed over between the two nomenclatures in this period.
