omegas 321 production numbers and the use at any given time is not consistent. production was in one go and use of the movements was sometimes rather random. there were always different tables; i`ve got one from mr. diethelm from the factory in the early 90`s. not consistent with other known tables..... there is no iron clad answer to that. kind regards. achim

Disclosing, yes, no problem.

he asked me if he could post a picture of the whole story. I would like to avoid that everyone starts to post pictures of the text. In that case, I think it´s better if each reader has the pleasure to discover the details when he gets the book.

For the 321 movement

All 321s 127,000
all speedys estimate 80,000-85,000.
