Tribute w/ Speedyorite
It’s not the first Apollo-Soyuz Out of Batch watch I see with large puschers, but...it’s the first AS, after 20 years of research, that you see with a 35M movement.
Curious, how did they know it was no. 499? The number is not visible on the casback.
..For lot 28, the extract was promised and then it was announced on bidding that Omega had refused it...
Great. Can you share them?
I tried editing the only picture they posted, the one he said they obscured, and i can barely make out the O And I, with a bit of the final number.
Here's the back with the number. If it was you or me sending to a friend I would have said "Having seen a good few, to be fair, these numbers on the ASs are often very shallow and can be difficult to photograph". But this is an international auction house working on behalf of their clients to maximise their sale prices - I remain constantly shocked by the poor photography. This is actually a good one - some of the other lots where atrocious to the point of not being able to make any kind of quality assessment. I can only guess they want people in the room.
Why would the auction house obscure the number and also publish it to promote the sale?
I thought the Museum had no records tying serial numbers to these? There is a thread here trying to match numbers because Omega doesn't know, right?
Did Demarchi put the numbers on or did Omega?
Wow! Can't believe thats the same cb. It looks great. Sure looks legit.
Thanks. Now we need a wrist shot 😉
In addition, OMEGA World will have a great image return because the battle of sports watches must always remain alive.
I personally wish it would die...
