    Why does it matter ? It has been obviously put together, and with incorrect parts. Are you hoping it's a 39m serial number?

    NAIL ON HEAD. :thumbsup:

    I wonder if there would be so much effort/rage/ego involved if these watches were worth £500?

    Outsiders observation, but the level of nonsense in these type of threads seems to directly correlate to how much the owner thinks they might get if their watch is "genuine".

    First the never ending "Grail" threads from a certain poster, and now this, at 15 pages.

    The Squirrel was wrong, it's not Speedmasters that cause this kind of weird, it's high values, and people thinking they're going to get rich.

    The man has got it right velocity of argument varies in direct proportions to the value of the watch ...how much are these worth ?

    You do well to ask yourself this question, it's pure logic!

    I can answer this question for myself and for a few others.

    - All this great effort and time for a matter of principle.

    - The anger for NOT having received from Omega the answers that would have cleared up this story forever.

    - The disappointment of knowing after years that my A-S clock was not included in the correct range. The joke is that only 15 years ago Omega decided to give this news and not at the time of purchase.

    And above all ... I have never talked about money

    The sale of this watch is not able to change anyone's life and as a result, if I have time and will, I will continue on my way ... but my Pre-Apollo-Soyuz will come with me.

    Since we are discussing watches and this, until proven otherwise, is a forum of Omega watches, I do not understand what the absurdities are!


    if you are able to answer our / my doubts and questions (or absurdity as you say), I kindly ask you to share with us the information you have, so we would close this discussion forever.

    Thank you

    The absurdity is that you appear to have no facts, but lots of theories.

    And that you repeat yourself. A lot.

    “A matter of principal”... you have the watch, if you like it, and it’s not for sale, then it doesn’t matter.

    on one thing you have absolutely right;
    I repeat myself but
    If you look at the various posts, some saied me the same questions and I answered ...

    however I take it as a compliment ...
    I prefer to always say the same thing instead of changing version to each post...

    I also noticed another thing in this image; the descriptive card. This indicates two dates or better, two years of production; 1975 and 1976
    the experts say that the production of Apollo-Soyuz watches began in mid-1976, but this descriptive card also indicates 1975.

    upload_2017-12-29_19-48-59.png

    why?

    Also Mr. Brandon (Omega Museum) confirmed that production began at the end of 1975.

    this is a further confirmation that there is a production of Apollo-Soyuz that anticipates the official one and that the movements of this series are of the year 1975

    I apologize to @TsoloT if I have posted a photo of him without asking permission...

    As long as you don't give into the green eyed monster of envy when seeing these amazing specimens from an earlier day. ::shy::
