Your behavior is annoying like a little child begging for sweets on the cashier desk.

I don’t feel the need to smash all my cards on a public desk.

If u like u can count as shitposting for you. I don’t give a sh...

Hey Guy’s keep cool with Zilla , as they convince me to grab it , and here is the first shoot’s promising, case very clean, caliber 3500 « unknown » as only 3600 is know as Caliber.

Again thanks Zilla

Added to the list of watch collecting douche canoes.

Maybe take that huge chip off your shoulder before you post again.

Your epic arrogance is not helpful.

That pretty clearly says 3600 on the rotor, to my eye anyway. Did Zilla pm you and give you the skinny on this privately?

I love prototypes. Always something special. Always good for a discussion. Always different opinions. Normally never a 100% proof. But at least something special and we feel alive as collectors

Nope every accepted prototype carries provenance. No proof, no one here’s going to call it a prototype.

i bet on a prototype form 1997 1998, as the original Split model was released on 1999

I have to find a dial 3511.80 and the hands of the speedmaster split , this will depends if the date wheel is implemented on this movement.

The Cal. 3600 does not have a date function.

This movement is not in the correct case for it (proper case has square pushers and is 45 mm in diameter), so not sure if the dial that actually goes on the split second chrono would actually fit in this case. But for your reference the silver dialed version is REF 35403000, black dial is REF 35405000, and blue dial is REF 35408000.

I checked the serial number on the Omega Extranet, so 60094641 and it came back with "No results found"...

Authenticity fully proven...bold claim for something like this IMO...

Hi Archer thanks for that , tommorow digging at the museum , of course looks like they made some test on a speedy reduced , but at the end was. It the 1999 model , that makes the stuff more interesting , of course no date good chance that the dial and the hands of the « original » split will work like a charm keep you posted of the next findings .

Well there is no more extract for prototypes or understand they will not provide anymore extract for prototype , I was in the museum with the watch at the beginning with the white ceramic dial, and with the serial of the movement , the watch is dated from 1997 and this is not « really » a prototype of the speedmaster split as you know the real split is completely different , they used this case to test the split functionality of the valjoux 7750 and then move to another design , I am fine with that anyway as this is before the prototype.

i was with another collector this morning with the same behavior trying to get an extract of Archive for a Speedmaster SOYUZ the real one , the watch was a display watch used for demos , the was resurfaced a month ago , fully recognized but no extract now as prototype , they got cheap it is happy but Omega become strict with that.

lol even more A/S watches with no provenance. Did it have the special pushers and bracelet?
