    Hi Kox
    Well, interesting remark about the lollipop. I had a doubt when i bought mine. Anyway, i could not let this rare master piece issued by the FAP pass through for a small doubt for the lollipop. And i really like it like this. For me the lollipop can be seen only on 2913 and 14755. at that period was it an option? I don't know. Some say it is on Speedy like on the very good book Moonwatchonly. Some no. Where is the truth?
    Anyway, our advertising just confirm me that there were "standard" lollipop and "shorter" lollipop.
    Here are some pics find on the net.

    Short lollipop on a railmaster even if i am not sure it was born like this on this model

    If some of you have more informations or other pics it would be great.
    Thanks

    I would not rely too much on ADs - we have seen already some strange "combinations" on Speedy pictures

    Yes, one should not rely 100% on the old Omega ad's, but they are still a source of indication.

    io8194, heres one pic from my archieves with the "small" lolli. 2913 sold not long ago on a UK auction.
    Actually looks like its the same watch as your first pic ...
