A memo went out to the AD's on Friday. It says there is a spelling mistake on the box. It is suppose to say "Man Kind" but says "Man King". I was told I was going to get knew boxes for both my Stainless a Gold Apollo 17 45TH Anniversary Speedmatsers. Does any one else have this mistake on there box?

"Man Kink," as your title suggests, would be so much worse than "Man King." 😁

Better not swap the Man King box as it'll probably go for stupid money in the future

Not swapping. They are giving me new boxes letting me keep the old. Any one else have boxes that say Man King instead of Man Kind?

OUCH!!

Thats a costly error to make! Im guessing that all the boxes will be 'manking' due to the manufacturing process no?

I’d expect so. Let’s see. I’ll check with my AD whether they are sending replacement boxes or inserts.

I'd be very surprised if they sent out new boxes to everyone. Insert only i suspect

Agreed. Can’t say im that fussed either way. More concerned that they sort my bezel out at some point given it’s not lined up straight (as are others based on photos I have seen).

Wonder if omega in their rush to get things done have some QC issues. Maybe they should release slightly fewer watches and make sure they are right.....

Do you have a picture of the bezel?
I noticed the hands on my Stainless version seem jagged on the edges. This was viewed under a loop. I did not say any thing at the time. I still do not have the watch. It was sent out on a "tax vacation" ::rimshot::to Oregon. I will post photo in a week or so.....

Years ago, I talked with Gene about his "for all manking" mistake during his last words on the Moon. Gene said that because Neil screwed up his first words on the Moon, he felt that he should screw up his last words on the Moon. Besides, I think Gene would have liked all men to be mankings. 😀

Not sure how easy to see this is. Effectively the 60 at the top is not straight with the bracelet and equally the 120 at the bottom.

Truth be told I’m not really worried as it’s very slight.
