Dear fellow members,

I just found this one on ebay. Well,what is this? Anakyn Moonwalker Prototype? Looks original to me and comes with papers. I've never seen this configuration before.

Any opinions here?

Cheers!

This has been for sale on the bay for months. I’m assuming no one has wanted it because it is a terrible redial for the wrong model.

Wrong model / reference, obviously yes. But, the Tritium on the indices appears to be vintage and the hands are matching the fade of the lume. I can't find any signs of the usual redial weak points and the subdials (especially the seconds) have a non-common design, that would have been created exclusively for a redial, which is unlikely.

The fonts are crude, not up to Omega standards.

Yes, maybe. But is there any hard evidence?

If denisthemenace says let go, I would let go. 😉

This pile of shit has been floating around forever.

Here is a post on a NAWCC board about it all the way back in 2016.
