··Oooo subtitles!Is there something weird going on in the movement shot? It looks like the copper coating is worn away in several places like on the serial and the word 'Swiss'

·Nice watch. Sounds like you know most of what you need to know.
Hopefully this isn't an attempt at skirting the sales rules.
indirect sale post for lack of minimum posts, and possible soliciting of private messages

Dear Sir/madam,
Due to the nature of vintage archives in certain cases information has not survived, is unreadable or even missing.
We regret to inform you that unfortunately the provided serial number (20.520.XXX) falls onto that category, so we are unable to issue an Extract of the Archives. Therefore we will issue a full refund of your payment.

·The ref # - year on the inner side of the back cover, the serial # and the symmetrical clutch bridge are good enough for me to believe this is the real thing.
Thank you all for your input.
Regards.

·Yes... no fun.
The back cover, the serial # and the symmetrical clutch bridge are enough for me. 😀

That's actually quite interesting. I also have a 20.520.xxx 105.002 that had its extract refused due to lack of information. Maybe stuff around that range records don't survive...

·I have a 105.012-63 serial 205204xx and I also received the same Omega email
" .....in certain cases information has not survived, is unreadable or even missing."
However I was able to find out the following:
Regarding your 105.012-63. There is no production archive as these were assembled at Lemania.
We looked in the delivery books and found this mvt number was delivered to United Kingdom on March 9, 1964.
However, there is no reference number confirmed on this one and that is why they can’t complete an archive extract.
According to MWO the 105.012-63 serial range was 2052 0xxx - 2052 1xxx.
It would be interesting to know what part of the serial range is not available
For the Davidoff Brothers example (serial 20520861), Omega were able to supply an extract
http://www.db1983.com/our-archive/omega-speedmaster-105012-63-1964
So maybe from 205208xx > 20521999 Omega have records of the received Lemania movements paired with the actual watch reference it was used to create, therefore they can supply a complete extract.

·That makes sense. I mine is actually a 205206xx, so that sounds plausible to me.
Mine is 105.033 -63 with Serial 20.522.160 and also no extract available. So maybe the range is larger.
