Don't treat it as fact yet, It was merely a comment someone from the Omega archive made last year at the Speedy Tuesday event. He said that in the past what happened was the client that requested an extract supplied information about the watch, and that supplied information would go on the extract which was a less than ideal situation, as while Omega was meticulous in record keeping, the Lemania produced Speedmasters were one of the black holes in those records that was never filled. I don't know ultimately what came of it and have not tested that.

Did the extract for your 105.003 match the movement to the case reference? Many of these extracts for the 321 issued recently only had movement information and the case reference number was not included

Full match.

That is a very late 105.003 being a '68 even though 105.003s are an early-ish reference, it was the early 60s / late 50s period that the blackspot in records was.

The case ref is -65 so I guess Omega assembled a few some years later?

exactly. They have not been strict enough for years and one should consider old extract for pre-20.525 with great caution

Looks like Omega, or rather, Lemania, did not assembled the watches sequentially.

Here is my extract, 105003-65 but really , the production year was 1967! And not only that, movement number is later than yours but production of this watch was a few months before yours... intrigue.
