I agree with you and it seems we often share common points. But this thread could have been more efficient and informative for the OP, if it wouldn't have been turned into a guessing game from the beginning.
BTW: The OP? Are you still there? How do you think we helped you?
Come on! Everyone loves a good guessing game!
Especially during these times when everyone's sitting at home with nothing to do...
But I think it is more constructive to either state something essential and well thought (taking the risk being wrong, included losing face in face of the whole world) or don't post any comment at all.
People here asking questions sometimes lack the experience that you as an experienced collector have. Playing guessing games is not what is first in place. So helping them out with just a few words or pictures would help these people more to learn and understand.
Plus, we've seen this before (and I'm in no way accusing the OP of this) where people come on here with a bogus watch, or a "Drawer find" piece, or any other type of B.S. and try to "Test the waters" and see if it will pass, or try to create a "Fresh to market" story by (ab)using this forum...
I told you a couple of weeks ago, that I appreciate your knowledge. There's no doubt that you know your stuff.

As I told you, I have great respect. You are a very well informed Speedmaster expert and highly acknowledged here. I am stating this, while I am aware I'm not going to be the most liked OF member of the year.
