Congrats. It is truly an amazing find!!!

The watch is stunning by itself, and on top of that it has all the history that goes with it!

 

That all ya got?







but......uh, dibs......broken box'n all.

 

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

 

Fabulous watch and package. You absolutly deserve this once in the lifetime find

 

Never be repeated

 

Holy frickin moley

 

Gorgeous, found the perfect museum and caretaker.

 

Ok...now that I have regained consciousness..Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Simply astounding!

 

Ummm...yeah...I was going to ask where the Omega pad was...but didn’t...so I’ll do it now...so @Spacefruit, where’s the Omega pad?

 

Mad Dog

That pad is a sanitary pad. Why would you need the pad?

 

Oh, gee whiz...that’s one of those trick questions, Captain Obvious.

It’s needed for sanitary operations.

 

Sounds like operation red wings. Earning your red wings was part of fleet training.

 

Thanks for sharing! It’s likely been said or alluded to in the last 5 pages of member drool, but it’s great getting to see collectors here (whom so many have respect for) find these pieces. We all benefit from it because @Spacefruit is so intent on sharing his passion free gratis. I’ve logged plenty of hours on his site and reading through his auction watch reviews and updates.

I’ve got to drive up and buy you a beer when you stop off in Jackson some time. Enjoy your watch

 

Amazing find. That's a first time for me to see a truly complete set and untouched watch. Those sharp edges of the lugs can literally cut one's finger.

Congrats William

 

Incredible. Your Speedy Sense was tingling.

 

that's crazy lookin good speedy Eddy.

 

Fantastic find and superb sharing the details with everyone here!

 

Congrats on this EW. An outstanding piece of the Omega watch history.

 

That is a stunning watch. It’s incredible that there are true full sets like this still around after all these years. Will members of this forum get all excited when they find an 1861 Speedy with its original ‘suitcase’ box with bits and bobs in 2070?!?

The fact that the original owner truly prized the watch as demonstrated by his keeping all the paperwork, paraphernalia, etc. also makes it a stand-out.

 

@rob#1
make that the year 2069 ( 100 years Apollo 11 ) and yes some people still keep really everything they got with their watch, while others, like me, toss all the paperwork and stickers into the bin... But indeed this EW is an amazing find, a true little time machine !
